It depends if your ISP provides you with a server. If so they should have it somewhere on their site.

dont recommend using isp news-servers b/c of incompletes and retention.

However, it sometimes pays to check it out.
My ISP may only carry 50,000 groups (about half of what's out there) but that does include quite a few good binary ones and although the retention is only 4-5 days max, the excellent completion makes up for that.
