You are not going to find one, ISPS do not carry good NNTP servers because
they cost a damn sight more than the amount of your subs cover if you want
decent then go with the likes of astraweb which costs me $10 or £7 a month
for as much as I want, and dont forget that there is much more to an ISP
than news.

any recomendations as to a provider with a reasonable retention
and preforably with a monthly contract would be welcome
