When Comcast dumped the newsgroups

I had to pay Giganews $23/month plus Comcast's $45/month, just to get the same service I was getting before. Comcast stated that the newsgroups were maiinly used by less than 1% of their subscribers. But I'll bet these 1% were using more bandwidth than the other 99% combined. Now Comcast gives me a 1 gig/month account with Giganews. Heck, you can download 1 gig of headers in less than a day.
