Check out 3Web as a possible ISP alternative to Rogers.  To be exact, 3Web 
resells Rogers in terms of internet traffic (i.e. access to the internet). 
The only things that will be different is that 3Web does the billing, you'll 
be using their e-mail sever, newsgroup server, and access to their almost 
non-existent technical support.

If you can support yourself, they are good alternative to a Rogers 
subscription.  Same Rogers reliability (in terms of internet access), but at 
a lower price.  If you can't solve your own tech problems and think that 
you'll need 3Web tech support, stay away from 3Web and find another 
provider.

I've been with them for almost a year and I am very pleased.

And, they have their own newsgroup server!!!

Their web address is: www.3web.com

There's a long thread about 3Web and Rogers at www.redflagdeals.om in which 
a lot of people are switching over (same service, but at a lower price).  So 
much so that if you are an existing Rogers customer and call "Customer 
Relations" and ask for the 3Web promo, they will match 3Web prices. 
However, you still will not get a newsgroup server.  You have to ask the 
customer service agent to transfer you to Customer Relations if you want to 
take advantage of the promo.  The sales people don't know about it - 
honestly!

Again, there's a long thread on this in the forum section of redflagdeals 
under Hot Deals - do a search using 3web or Rogers as the key search words.
