If you are looking for a national ISP you may want to give Netcom a
try.  They seem to be over the growing pains that a lot of the ISPs
are going through right now.  I've been with them for about a year and
have been able to connect very consistently.

Netcom does carry ALL of the Usenet groups.  You can also use third
party apps instead of the sorry application (Netcruiser) that they
provide.  On the downside, they don't yet offer home pages.  That's
expected to change in the next couple of months.
