If this means a disconnection for me, I may need to find a new ISP. It
seems I pay a lot for services like this. What are the rest of you doing?

When Time Warner/Roadrunner discontinued their UseNet hookup, I went
with Forte's APN newsgroup service...

It runs $2.95 monthly for me, and their minimum plan is plenty for my
needs.
