Demand for a provider review forum?

[jarvis2323]

i liked this one when I was picking my news provider:

Until i switched to Giganews, i was using News groups and torrents to fill my lecherous ways.

With the Premium unlimited account, i dont use anything else anymore.

I've used Easynews, Usenext, and for price V capacity, Giganews wins.

I constantly get 700kps on my link (using SSL) on an 8mb link.
High retention, completion and reliability = win

More Giganews fellating over here.  I've got 12Mb cable and I pull 1.6MB/s solid.  I use the Giganews Accelerator to get SSL to the mothership.  Retention is outrageously long and they keep a really nifty monthly stats page so you can brag in an educated fashion about the exorbitant amount of data you moved last month.  I had UseNetServer previously and one or two outages in I decided I'd just pay the piper.  Is Giganews a little more?  Yep.  Worth every red cent, they've never failed me.

I am using : UseNetServer

Works perfect for me.
Getting great speed , have 20 Mbit  getting like 1600 - 1700.
But I normally restrict it to 1000 , as I want to play games also

101 days retention, so taht always helps me.
And if it's to old // well I just request it to be posted again 

ANd another good thing, this can be used on more IP's at the same time, so you can share the cost with a good friend if you like

Giganews all the way.

At first I used Easynews. Loved the web-interface. But since the dawn of NZB's and Newzbin, there's realy no more need for it. That, and their retention collapsed. I've dabbled a bit with one of the many many Dutch usenet providers, I have Tweaknews at the moment, still a couple of months left on it, but since Newzbin upped their database to reflect the 200 days retention of Giganews, that's where I went.

Great retention. Great speed. Good service. Might be a tad expensive, but with the $ crashing, it's getting cheaper every month :p

[Hulebeoren]

Giganews 25usd/month
They might be the most expensive - but there are never any issues, 200days retention, 10 connections, servers in both europe and the US..
Been a customer for years now, previously I used Newshosting, they were pretty unreliable at that time.

[daniel_owen_uk]

Newshosting, I don't really need SSL, fills approx 1200KB/s, 60 days retention is enough for me, $14 a month.

[manks]

hitnews kicks ass, €6.50 per month unlimited, with retention about 40 days and growing (it reckons its 100 but not so).  Still at that price you can't complain.

[jarvis2323]

another vote for usenet server.  good retention (100+), good speeds (max out my 5Mbps fios connection), great price.

[KaiUno]

So yeah, maybe a news service forum would be interesting :p

[Usenet]

Usenetserver, fairly good speeds (30Mbps out of my 100Mbps), ssl and helpful support. If someone else has a provider with better speeds i gladly change..
EDIT: Switched to Usenet-News.com and are reaching 50Mbps from their EU server (19$/month 20 connections, ssl, unlimted DL)..

astraweb pay per gb is a good extra fill server for missing parts. i payed 25 dollar for 110gb they last forever.
