Paying for convenience, or not.

My ISP (Qwest) goes to the trouble of maintaining their own news server, so the files are hosted on their own network a few hops away. Thus all of the NNTP traffic between me and my ISP's news server is limited to their network. It doesn't make sense that Qwest would want to eavesdrop on my in-network inbound traffic and trap me for what I download entirely from their own servers.

I don't use SSL. I have access to UseNetServer (UNS) and Giganews but don't use them very often.
