I'm "new", which site should I choose? (honest opinion)

[Robert]

Hi, I just found out about newsgroups despite having various broadband connections since 1997 (doh...).

What's your honest opinion on the best newsgroup?
I saw this site called newzbin which was only

Ok, but how about this site: http://www.news.astraweb.com/plans.html
Someone else gave it to me. It seems to be cheaper. I probably download around 30-40 gigs a month. I have a 2mb connection. So I'm looking at an unlimited package.

"Unlimited DSL $15/Month Unlimited Unlimited 4"

Newshosting has an unlimited package but it's only 24 days (if that's what retention means, I don't really know)

Is there any difference on the two sites?

 

[Whittney21]

retention means how long the files are availible on the servers before they are deleted id reccomend eitehr newshosting.com or www.newsdemon.com newsdemon is 17.99 but with 55 days retention.

I pay 6.95 for 20gigs and 6 connetion and 24 days retention....

I think NewsHosting is the best deal and you can connect from multiple locations at once.
Their completeion is also near perfect so having incompletes is rare.
Of course the forum here has a refferal at...

Yeah but I'm not going to be downloading over 40gb this month as im going away, but after that I want the option for a good unlimited package.
Anyway, I tried my first downloads last night and it's amazing. full speeds and I could find what i wanted within seconds. crazy. ill never use anything else.

I've had a great time on newsdemon already. The retention was much more appealing 55 vs 24 for the unlimited package which was also cheaper (although I got 50gb for now I wont be able to finish above that this 30day period anyway). Haven't had any incomplete files as of yet.

Servers all have the occasional outage although NewsHosting is very quick to post the issues on their site and handle it very quickly. As for retention it seems NewsHosting will be having longer retentions shortly with an upgrade. As for the price I dont see any reason in paying more for another service...

I see i heard this aswell that newshosting will go up to 45 days retention i would not mind paying a few extra bucks for 55days though.
