    Default Best provider?

    My new isp doesn't offer nntp, whats the best subscription news server
    out there? I am not interested in binary stuff, just want to be able
    to post/read from a reader, not the web

    news.individual.net is good and somewhat inexpensive.

    I'll second that. I 've been using it for quite some time. It's about
    $13/year.

    Interesting. I've got sorta the opposite issue. I've been reading
    and posting through the web for a while. I've been putting up
    with Google.s problems. I originally did that because I traveled
    for work and I never knew what this week's network would block.
    Now that I no longer travel, somewhere along the way I have
    decided I want a web based reader.

    If some NSP offers a web-based service with killfiles and the
    usual set of features expected of a real newsreader I will be
    happy to pay for that service. But my ISP does offer NNTP and
    I've set up my reader at home to point to several servers but I
    almost never use it.

    Eh, young whippersnapper.

    Try news.individual.net cheap and good. there are others free but I
    don't know how good.

    Some things are just better left alone. Usenet is one of them. I don't
    do web based groups, and yes, I'm an old fart, too.
