    Any suggestions on a good newsgroup provider? Google doesn't seem to
    be too bad. Maybe I'll just use this.

    I've been using

    news.eternal-september.org

    for a month or so since Cox announced it was dropping newsgroups.

    There are also these free servers.

    freenews.netfront.net
    news.albasani.net
    aioe.org

    I like individual.net. Low cost (10 EUR per year, you can pay via
    Paypal) and extremely reliable.

    My second choice is eternal-september.org - free but somewhat less
    reliable.

    Free is the right price!

    Free is the best price, but "somewhat less reliable" isn't the best
    level of service. Nevertheless, it's still a great bargain!

    Well, it news.eternal-september.org lets me down, I've also got these
    setup

    freenews.netfront.net
    news.albasani.net
    aioe.org

    as other free backups. If I get to where I can't connect with one of
    these four free servers, I'll prolly sign up for the Giganews feed that
    Cox Cable offered for something like $2.99 a month, since they are
    killing their news feed.
