Look at what I just received. It's very sad. I wonder if there's a way
to access USENET via the webear Valued Customer:

Effective June 30, 2010, Cox Communications will discontinue Usenet
service to our subscribers.

Declining newsgroup usage in recent years has highlighted the need to
focus our resources on other priorities, such as increasing our Internet
speeds and providing new services, including Cox Media Store and Share.

We understand that our newsgroup subscribers may want to continue
accessing Usenet. Therefore, we have worked with leading newsgroup
service provider Giganews to offer special pricing for Cox subscribers.

As a Cox subscriber you can take advantage of the following special
pricing on Giganews service:

1. Giganews Diamond Plan: Cox customers will receive the Giganews
Diamond Plan for only $14.99 per month for the first two months (a
50% discount) and 10% off the regular price beginning in the third
month.
2. Other Giganews Plans: With plans starting at $2.99 per month,
there are several options to meet your needs. Cox customers
receive 50% off the first month of all other Giganews plans and
10% off the then current price beginning in the second month.
3. All plans provide a free 14 day trial* so you can try the service
before you buy and there are no long-term contracts.
