Do you mean they're not going to provide a usenet feed themselves, or they're going to block the NNTP ports completely? If the latter, I'd change ISP pronto!

Assuming you'll still have NNTP access, there are other providers. E.g. news.eternal-september.org is free & fairly reliable, or individual.net is 10 euros/year & extremely reliable. Either are far better than any of the web interfaces, but if you /have/ to do it that way, groups.google.com
