I just received an email from news.individual.net (the old

Can anyone recommend another *good* free service?

On the other hand its only10 Euros a year.

I finally gave up on the free NNTP services - too spotty. Most ISPs have
a contract with one of the news services and don't house their own
servers. The ISP I use at work has a month-to-month agreement with
giganews for so much bandwidth from the 21st of one month to the 20th of
the next. Every month around the 12th or so, us NNTP users were SOL
until the 21st because they had used their allotment. Since roff is
*far* too important to miss, I happily pay $4.95/month to supernews. 10
Euros a year sounds like a great bargain, and it gives them some
incentive to keep things running.

YMMV.
