They charge $19.95 a month and it is for unlimited usage. They do not charge a start-up fee, which is why I gave them a shot. There are no busy signals (95% of the time) and they have a great selection of newsgroups. They have next to no down time. They have ads in the Computer Paper if you are interested in checking them out.
