*shrug* I use APN because it's cheap. $3/month gets you 7 GB/month,
it's very fast, and retention is pretty good.

I looked for a while but was unable to find any free news server that
had any groups that I wanted. You might find one if you look
better/longer than I did, but the pay ones are cheap enough that I
didn't want to bother. Plus, you'll never find a free one with binary
access and most of them are fairly slow.
