  MTA is my ISP. I've had good performance and (where needed) good
  support from them. The exception has been for their news server. I
  ended up subscribing to supernews.com. At the time their fee was a
  whopping $3.00 per month. I have since dropped them since I no
  longer need a news feed, but the fee was worth it for the
  performance.
