Just signedup now, Looking good so far, Maxed me out at 850KB/s, And also got good completion back, Unlike newshosting, Also i like there inbuilt site search engine, Its like newsleechers supersearch for free.
 
I am lucky, I'm in the states and I have a 10Mb cable line :) Usenetserver keeps my pipe maxed out at ~1.2MB/s. Its awesome, nothing like grabbing a episode of 24 in 6 minutes. I still can't believe UNS only costs $15/month for unlimited, the service is almost to good to be true. oh yea I'm using it at work now to since they have SSL :yup:

Are there any usenet providers that do accept paypal? I thought they couldn't because paypal won't let you use them if your company has anything to do with porn, and we all know the usenet is loaded with porn ;)

I have adsl2 25mb so things actually download too fast. I have hundreds of burnt dvds with stuff ive never watched. Oh and UNS are going to increase to 90 days (for free)by March then hopefully to 120 (for additional cost) days before 2008.
 
Usenetserver just announced that they have 75 day bin retention. It's nice to see another usenet provider competing with Giganews and Newshosting, their unlimited account is cheaper than newshosting's too :) I may have to switch.

Here is a snippit from the official release off of their website:

Today we have completed phase 2 of our retention upgrades. We now have article retention of 75 days!

For most usenet providers you can share accounts provided you both dont use it at the same time. Because, if you think about it, you could just say that you are using it the entire time and just move around a lot (aka, two homes).
 
I definately would switch providers if I wasn't getting Giganews for free (provided by my ISP). I used Newshosting for quite awhile before I switched ISPs.
 
Thanks for this digitrifecta,Used the free easynews server in December and noticed the difference from my isp.
Maybe fst should have a affiliate with Usenetserver as well
 
why didn't I wait a little longer. I just signed up for newshosting for a year. So I can't cancel it because I don't get my money back. dammit.
 
I signed up with them a week ago and it's been an amazing ride! A smart choice, I think, in my first attempt to tackle newsgroups. I'm hooked and I'm happy to say that I'll be leaving torrents in the dust.
 
I just added up some figures in Excel for their pricing

Per Day = $3
Per Month = $14.95
Per 3 Months = $39.95

If you do each one for 3 months this is what it costs you:

Day Rate = $279
Month Rate = $44.85
3 Month Rate = $39.95
