Oh CRAP!

  Now they're pulling the plug on all newsgroups, not just binaries:

Please note that on or around July 15, 2009, AT&T will no longer be
offering access to the Usenet netnews service.  If you wish to continue
reading Usenet newsgroups, access is available through third-party
vendors.

Posted only internally to AT&T Usenet Servers.


Which third party newsgroups do you use and what are its limitations?

Thanks

$3/month for 5GB/month

About the cheapest I found.  5GB of text groups will keep you reading
24/7.

If you only use text groups, it should take you a few years to get through
25GB.

 

 I have used Astraweb since november 2007, very reliable so far.
According to Astraweb I have downloaded 0.33GB of my 25GB
