My ISP has just announced with the following message that they have
improved my usenet service by not offering it to me anymore:

We have recently upgraded our USENET service so we can deliver the
highest quality of service. You will receive one free GB every month
and have
access to extended retention. You also have the option to sign up for
a premium service.


Go here for more information, to sign up for your free account, and to
sign up for a premium service:

Thank you for your continued support,
The Sympatico Services Team

To take part in the usenet I now have to subscribe to either a free
service from another supplier, or to a 'premium' service from the same
people for a minimum of $10/month.


The free service does not permit me to post (!), and comes with other
restrictions. I've temporarily set up Google groups, and am using it
now bu the interface is terrible.


Has anyone got any suggestions for me other than changing ISPs? (My
last resort.)


TIA,
MichaelB

Other than paying them the ten bucks, of course!
