    I believe what they are referring to is that access to them is no longer included in your isp package like email is, and requires additional payment, usually to a different company.

    Your ISPs, or do you pay for a third party like TweakNews or UsenetExpress?

      I pay for one. I wasn’t aware ISPs ever provided them. TIL. I thought the comment meant they blocked usenets you pay for.

        Yeah, believe it or not they would come free from your ISP, back in the day. Those were the days.
