In another newsgroup, a poster has found that Comcast will be
discontinuing their "Comcast Newsgroups Service".

Those using newsgroups.comcast.net will need to find another
provider on or before Saturday, October 25, 2008:

And no mention of a reduction in the monthly bill. Oh yeah, that's right,
they referred to it as the 'complimentary' Usenet service. Still waiting
impatiently for Uverse to get rolled out, and this is just one more tickmark
on the 'Reasons I'm gong to dump Comcast' list.

They seem to all be doing it. Roadrunner said it wasn't being used
enough to warrant it - that has to be bull - probably more like people
were using too much bandwidth.

Does Uverse have a free usenet service ? It's available here and that
4 channel DVR is a nice bonus with the 200 package. The only drawback
to Uverse is you have to kick up the internet package about two levels
to reach normal speeds.

If you're still looking for a Usenet alternative, it might be worth
checking a third party service that focuses on that. I had switched over to
Newsguy and I can use them from whatever ISP or access location I have
available. They have low-cost options that cover low traffic as well as
options for heavier and unlimited downloads.

If you check their site newsguy.com they have a special that gives sign-ups
from Comcast an extra free month and I'd recommend using the trial account
to check them out first.

That doesn't answer the original question though. Does Uverse supply
a news feed ? I can shop for a 3rd party news feed no problem, but
if they already supply one, it might be worth swapping from RR.
