The following ISP's have a reputation for carrying better newsgroups than most other ISP's. This is by no means a complete list, nor a recommendation of any ISP over another. Do your homework before having any service installed.
Rogers Cable - used to host their own newsgroups, however they are switching to Giagnews near the end of Sept 2004. Connections are limited in number and speed.
Magma DSL - newsgroups provided by Giganews.
IGS - newsgroups provided by Giganews. More info: /forum/remark,9844652~mode=flat

This is by no means a complete list. These are some of the ISP's that currently or previously have throttled (limit the speed of) certain ports or services.
AEI - uses Packeteer to shape bandwidth. It is not known what services are affected.
Nuthin But Net - has throttled ports in the past, removed the throttle, then reinstated them again. The current status of their throttling policy is not known.
