Angry Isp has killed NNTP feed

My Isp { ATT} has discontinued support for NNTP. So I'm locked out of all subscribed groups. Any one else using ATT experiencing the same issues?
And are there any free news servers out there

Correct, no more Usenet from AT&T. Free news servers are very hard to find these days, and when you do find them, they are unreliable and/or don't last long. If you are a Usenet junkie, the best thing to do is get an Easynews subscription.

Google Groups is web-only, but it does have access to Usenet groups.

I use Tera News, it is free except for a $3.95 set-up fee.
