free usenet provider (I know it's been covered before)

ISTR someone mentioning two usenet providers in the recent past, but
after a quick google for them I can up dry :-/

One of them offered binaries (60Gb IIRC) for a fixed price - now i'm
almost shut of Pipex (wednesday with any luck), i'll need a replacement
as i'll lose the giganews access (unless they're incompetent enough to
balls that up and leave it active ;-) )...

has nothing to do with the established easynews company.
