If you are text-only, like me, then you can get accounts for less than
$8.00 per month at GigaNews. I suspect there are other services for less.

It was less than $5.00 per month until Comcast and other cut their
groups, and I am grandfathered at that. I think I pay $46.00 a year for
less than 2G of transfer per month, which is plenty if all you do is
read.

news.individual.net (which is in Berlin) is used and recommended
by many of us. It is 10 Euro per year which amounts to slightly
over 1USD per month. I have them automatically charge my plastic
annually and don't even give it a second thought.
