Telus had pretty good usenet service with its internet packages up until about 2007. I wish they still supported it cause it was such an easy way to grab stuff and max out your connection without having to worry about seeding.

But yeah, if you're gonna spend money, I'd rather get a $$$$$$$$$$ account or something like that over a usenet subscription or even stupider shit like share ratios on private torrents.
