Almost three years ago I wrote about the 5 best Usenet (NZB) clients for Mac OSX. It took me this long to get to the point of making a list of the actual service providers, sorry for the long wait 
Here’s a list of all major Usenet/Newsgroup service providers, in order of retention (low to high). If I forgot one that should definitely be on this list, please let me know! Most of these are resellers of mega-server owners such as Highwinds.
Please note that some of these links are affiliate links, meaning that should you sign up for GigaNews through the mentioned link then we will receive a commission. This does not mean the list is biased, as it’s simply in order of retention.
