Losing Newsgroup Access

What do you guys use, preferably free? Comcast is getting rid of giganews service. They are basically saying it is outdated and not worth providing the service.

It's like $10 a year, works like a crowbar. Very reliable that is No
attachments, no binary groups, just text.

I have been using them for years, they used to be called something
else... it's the university of berlin, germany.

news.motzarella.org need to register but it's free. very limited binanary
ng.

I know someone that is using Google for newsgroups since Comcast stopped ..
Is that the same company that wants to charge for usage too? I heard
something about them charging if you go over a certain amount of email ..

I am with comcast. Years ago they outsourced usenet access and used
giganews. Now they are dropping that too. They said you are welcome to
continue using giganews but I would have to pay. Their plans are $7-$10 a
month.

I'm considering dumping Comcast and going back to DSL for this and the
bandwidth restrictions they now have too.
