I disagree. Since I've been on the Internet, over a decade now (what can 
I say? I was a slow starter), I've had three ISPs, and all three of them 
have provided NNTP access as a standard. One of them tried to cancel 
access to *binary* newsgroups, but they reversed that after customer 
complaints.

I don't know what rubbish ISPs you're dealing with, or what country 
you're in, but not all ISPs in all countries are rubbish.
