Commercial NNTP Gateway Recommendations?

plazman30 asks: "I am a customer of comcast.net, which provides usenet access through Giganews, but they cap downloads at 1 GB. Giganews will allow greater access for a monthly fee, but the amount of download you get is based on how much you pay. I am interested in getting usenet access greater than 1 GB and am willing to pay for it, but I want to get the best value for my dollar. I was wondering what slashdot users that pay for usenet access are using."

    You're willing to pay for the ability to download pirated software and copyrighted media, but you won't actually pay for that material directly? Seriously, I know there's a lot of legit stuff on usenet, but if you really need more than a gigabyte a month then you're stealing.
