There is Giganews, Astraweb and Highwinds. All other News providers are RESELLERS. They mostly resell Highwinds products which are flaky at best.

The other thing to bear in mind is that said reseller buys a block of gigs from Highwinds hoping to make a profit on it. To attract users he sells an unlimited package but fails to figure 50meg connections in his calculations. So realising too late that 50meggers are going to have an adverse effect on his expected wages packet the reseller throttles the 50meggers connection and then blames it on the 50meggers ISP.
