[OT] News Server Help

[Numberwhun]

Hello everyone!  For those of you who have Comcast cable internet, you 
are probably aware that there was a recent change in their service 
regarding their newsserver for news groups.  That change was that they 
are now outsourcing their newsgroups to giganews.  Granted, this move 
has made more message history available and more newsgroups as well, but 
as I have recently discovered, there is a 2 gig limit per month on 
transfers.  I only found this out after not being able to download and 
receiving an email stating such. 

This ercks me to no end since those of us with cable are paying almost 
twice as much as DSL and now we have had something torn out from under 
us, that being the unlimited access we previously enjoyed.  I know that 
some people are probably saying, "So switch to DSL", but unfortunately, 
it is not that easy.  I do not have DSL available to me where I am 
living here in Nashua, I have checked extensively.

Now, I did get online with Comcast and talked about this with their tech 
support, but all they could come up with is, "Giganews offers unlimited 
access for $24.95/month".  Again, why pay when it was FREE before.  Ok, 
now that I have made the long story long instead  of short, I was just 
wondering if anyone here knows of a nice, free new server that allows 
unlimited downloads/uploads, without monitoring?  I know that one was 
mentioned quite a while ago, but I don't have the messages saved.  So, 
if you know of any nice free unlimited servers, could you please post 
them here, I would be quite grateful.

(sorry for the drawn out explanation, I am still a little steaming over 
this issue).

Best regards,
