At present my ISP is Verizon, which does not officially support Gnus,
but has never given me any trouble using it. However, as you have
perhaps heard, on 24 June Verizon is dropping all newsgroup
hierarchies other than the so-called Big 8, so that I will no longer
be able to browse this newsgroup or, in fact, most of the ones that I
now look at.
This seems like a good time to ask what ISPs normal Gnus types use.
Thank you for your attention.

Use a public Uesnet server that allow posting. I personally use
news.gmane.org.

Does Gmane's news server actually carry real Usenet groups or just
Gmane's mailing lists in group form?

Sorry, I should have given a better example- this one is mainly for
gmane mailing lists. However, there are tons of public servers out there
that carry a lot more groups- google is your friend:

Just look for one that allow posting.

I've been a very happy user of `news.sunsite.dk' for a few years now.
The service _does_ require a registration and an `~/.authinfo' file with
the username you chose and the password provided by the web interface of
the service, but other than that it is a freely available and it has
been marvelously stable for me, ever since I registered.
Registration information, and helpful instructions for configuring Gnus
to use the service can be found at:
