Where to go for NetNews?

I was just informed that my ISP was no longer going to supply NetNews.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to where one can go to receive NetNews at a
reasonable/free offering?

Thanks in advance.

What is "NetNews"? If you're referring to Usenet, there are several
free providers if you want text groups (such as this one) only.

If you want binaries there are several very low cost that others can
point you toward.

Sorry, should have provided a link:

Signup is painless, you can use an alias and provide a throwaway email
account such as Yahoo or Hotmail.

There are other free ones but I have little experience with them.
