Do you pay for Usenet?

I was wondering who pays for Usenet, and which provider do you use? Currently I use my ISP, it's ok, but retention is only like 30 hours.

I am considering two options:

1. (cheap)

hxxp://www.usenetserver.com

$14.95/month (unlimited dls), and 5 day retention.

2. (luxury)

hxxp://www.allthenewsgroups.com

$39.95/month (120GB/mo), 180 day retention, 99.9% completion, and 110,000+ groups, and no speed caps.

Probably won't get the luxury one though, *sigh*
