Yes, it is sad that the Mega ISP's have dumped NNTP.
I was grandfathered with EL for a while, but that finally went byebye (it was outsourced years before).
SONIC, My (DSL) ISP (Serves San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angles), still has the Service for a Large subset of the available groups.
I also have an account at Eternal September for fill or redundancy
