You get good prices? If you thinking about switching, Astraweb has the $11 a month special and is unlimited and is on par with Giganews, except of course the price, you get exactly the same thing with Astraweb as you would with Giganews and SSL is free with Astra.
 
My 2 cents worth below.

I was curious and I signed up for a trial account and I must say, I am quite happy with their performance.

I am currently using astraweb and as much as I don't have much to complain, I did notice that astraweb's data center seems to be in San Jose CA, whereas thundernews which seems to be a highwinds reseller have their datacenter here in Northern VA

I am noticing a slight improvement in performance using thundernews vs astrweb I must say(3300-3400 kBps vs 2800 kBps). Performance may vary for other users obviously.

this is very true;
however id like to add that i believe astraweb *does* take the cake when it comes to giganews & DMCA takedown notices.
when i was with giganews, i ran across that problem many, many times.
it makes sense though, take the biggest fish down first, and the others follow.
astraweb in my book, is king.

hands down.

Um, you know that Giganews also colos their setup in Ashburn, VA as well right? And AT&T was caught with their spying equipment in a phone room in San Francisco a few years back. It doesnt really matter where you have things setup. If the feds want to watch someone there really isnt much that we end users can do to stop them from dropping their equipment into an isp's data stream.
 
Just like Astra except it's 20 connections but I barely use 4 :lol: Astra takes down the big name shit, but it takes awhile for them to do it, then Giganews follows shortly after.
 
What relevance does my your comment about my having 5 posts pertain to your snarky comment? Some people don't post incessantly in all forums they browse.

What the hell are talking about? You arent' either of those people above unless your using 2 nicks, and when people post about this type of stuff and it's their first post advertising a Newsgroup service, well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out :whistling
 
I wouldn't use thundernews..I use a company called Ngroups.net they seem ok used them for about the last 1 yr or so. I haven't tried giganews but I have heard good things about them. I have been here since 06 using newsgroups. Wouldn't touch torrents ever again. I prefer to use news servers that are somewhat established rather than a 5 poster talking about a new one..always makes me wonder
