This is one of the newsgroups I really would like to continue to use,
Unfortunately, my ISP, ATT.Yahoo, with domain name sbcglobal, has
decided to terminate USENET service in about two weeks,
I would like to know what news servers are used by participants of this
group. How is the service? How much do they charge? Do they censor?

I still get usenet service via my ISP, Cox. And of course I use
Google.Groups when I am not home.
There are a few threads on comp.lang.xharbour, and
sci.physics.relativity for example, that discuss this topic, if you
want to look for them. And I always get people started here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet#Public_USENET_Servers
.... "free" means "slow to update", almost always.

I use Teranews and other recommend NIN. The Tera service for discussion
groups is a one time admin payment ~$5 to get a login account. If you
want binaries then they will charge you for a subscription.

http://www.news.astraweb.com 25GB is 10USD - NO time limit, if used only
on text groups, then 25GB should last for years. No censoring.

Free Motzarella now named something like eternal september (not on
home computer now and going through Google). No binaries. All the
big providers dropping usenet services to save money. |

You can thank the spammers and sporgers for that. And the
accountants, of course.
