You should read this about SSL: http://filesplit.org/2007/01/22/sll-usenet-access-the-real-reasons-if-and-why-you-should-use-it/. In my opinion its bullshite unless you want to use it on a public network or you are having problems with trafficshaping.

I hope fellow users who have experience with these provideres can help you out.

I am using Usenetserver now and the service has been badass. For $15 a month they give you 75 day retention and SSL access free. Since they have SSL access I can download from the usenet using my work's internet and not get busted

Speed has been awesome too..I have a 10Mb pipe at home and UNS maxes it out no problem and I haven't seen a single incomplete yet. Hope this helps.
