I have been on usenet since olden times... I can find old posts as far back as 1995.

I had comcast before they fucked away the usenet and the dumped them for dsl when they pissed me off. I moved a couple years ago and tried them again and then immediately dumped them after realizing that they'd crippled their internet offering with that damned 1GB cap.

1GB per month? WTF is that? Hell. It's easy to DL 6GB on a weekend. I don't keep much, perhaps, but there are often gems there!

I prefer to use a third-party usenet povider that offers an SSH usenet portal, though, rather than verizon. I costs about $23 a month, but I consider it well worth the expense.
