Unfortunately, nothing to do with the net is a protected right, it is a
privilege. Most ISP's don't even know what Usenet is let alone carry
it.

I buy blocks from Octanews, because while my current ISP has access, they
cap it at 16Kb/s. Makes downloading mp3's on my cellphone faster. Octanews
blocks aren't limited as to speed, just Mbytes.

Good luck!
