I do not know about AT&T, but Verizon cut off all Usenet except for the "big
8" some time ago. They did not reduce the rates to reflect the reduction in
service. I bet they did not reduce your rates to compensate for removing a
service that could be reasonably expected in a standard ISP contract.

Here is one alternate provider. I have not used them, but I may.
