Thundernews is a Highwinds reseller. Not to mention, they'll terminate your unlimited account for downloading "too much".

I know I have seen charts around showing the "families" of Usenet providers--it seems like there used to be a "Big 4" and some minor ones. Perhaps someone can give provide a link?

That chart is somewhat dated now. This provider list is more up-to-date, but still not 100% accurate as Highwinds has been scooping up just about everyone. Specifically, Cambrium has now been acquired by Highwinds, but is still represented as an independent backbone on the list.
