Do you have any friends that use newsgroups nearby that perhaps use a
different ISP? If they have broadband or something, it's more than
likely that they don't use newsgroups, so you could just ask them if
you could borrow their access. Most only require you having a
newsgroup reader and a news-server address.
I mean, it really wouldn't put much of a drain on their account and
most ISPs really don't monitor IP address of newsgroup users; they
probably wouldn't care either way.
Just an idea.
