Over the years I have had a lot of people ask me to suggest a Usenet provider for them. Because I have been doing this so long, many of the providers have provided me with free accounts to test, so I do have some knowledge of many of their services and why I would or in some cases would not use them. This web page has been created to act as a central repository of NNTP service providers and when I have time, my reviews of their offerings.
