6 weeks ago, AT&T announced that effective July 15th, they would no longer
provide Usenet access as a part of their internet access services. Further,
they stated that If AT&T customers wanted Usenet access, they could get it
for an additional fee through 3rd party providers.

I called AT&T, asking for a fee reduction because they had unilaterally
reduced services. They gave me a $10 a month reduction for 6 months.
I have since switched my ISP to a cable company and have canceled all
services from AT&T, including local phone service. I have switched to Magic
Jack VoIP phone service. It works very well and this combination has
reduced my monthly bills by $10 a month.
It seems to me that some lawyer who wants to make a name for him/her self
has a very good class action suit against AT&T for their stopping usenet
with no fee reduction after 4 years of providing the service. Any takers?
