Why are Newsgroups so important? Which cheap isps offers it?

[DEE]

I notice that a lot of members put a lot of value in "Newsgroups" on deciding what ISP to use. Can anybody explain why is it a priority?

not necessarily important but it just helps you stay up to date with whats going on in the world.

Newsgroups are great .A good ISP will provide many catagories to chose from . One is sure to find something that will interest you .

CNN.com & Foxnews.com, they work just as well, but with video and audio, even live coverage, try getting that with some newsletter. Did I metion, cnn and foxnews are FREE?.. while some newsletter cost you monthly access fee?

Its your choice, you may have to pay more for newsletters, but do you really want to?

The best Internet Service provider (ISP) is a one that gives you connectivity, thats it. You dont need webspace, email accounts, no newsletters, no nothing. You can get a free email account with Yahoo.com, Hotmail.com or Gmail from Google.com, you can get 100 mbs of webspace with certain webspace providers, you can stay update to date without a monthly service fee. Think about it.....
