Well technically the price you pay is for access to the internet. Anything else (email,usenet,free anti-virus) are just added features.

I learned, yesterday, that Comcast will stop providing Usenet
(outsourced to Giganews) to existing subscribers October 25, and that
it's already ceased offering Usenet access to those new to Usenet
September 16. I don't read this newsgroup very often; oh well.

I called the Comcast sales telephone number and spoke to a salesman in
the customer retention group. This is the area your call gets routed to
if you select "discontinue service". I told her Usenet was worth $5 a
month to me. She gave me a credit for the next year. I told her to
specifically note that I requested the credit for loss of Usenet
service.

Everyone should do the same.
