The sad truth is that the isp which i have, a huge isp in canada
called rogers stopped providing news feeds. I use to use various news
readers that worked fine. Unfortunetely I cant change at this point.
This is a warning to ask your isp if they have news feeds before you
sign up. Mine did and then stopped providing them. I really dont want
to buy a news feed.

You don't need your ISP for this purpose, and you probably don't need
to buy anything either. There are several news servers that provide
their services for free. I recommend that you start with and try
news.eternal-september.org.

And for Microsoft newsgroups, you can (and should) use
msnews.microsoft.com. Just in case you don't realize it, virtually
every newsreader lets you use multiple news servers (I use nine of
them) without a problem.
