There arent any that are very reliable.
There are quite a few that cost peanuts like news.individual.net
No binary groups tho.

I have been using motzarella.com for quite a while now and very happily.
They will be changing their name on July 1st to eternal-september.org.
The name of their news server will now be;
news.eternal-september.org
Look into it. They are accepting new accounts under this name now.

Comcast dumped newsgroups last year "to save the children" . I have been
using Motzarella since then without any issues.

Was that real? The message referred to a newsgroup called 'motzarella.support'
or equivalent, which I couldn't find on either the motzarella server or my
ISP's news server.
"If you encounter any problems or have questions about the transition,
please use the internal group motzarella.support."
The 'eternal september' reference is NOT encouraging :-)
