A little useful bit of information stored in the nether regions of my
brain: as far as I understand it, http://www.usenetserver.com is
actually one of Google's primary newsfeeds for their website (if not THE
primary news feed). They push gigs and gigs and gigs a day. If this is
the case, then (thank goodness) Google is more of a recipient than a
provider of newsfeeds.
They got good monthly pricing on client connections too =)
