Which Usenet provider do you use, and how happy are you with it?

[Swaaqqqeeerrr -:D]

Giganews all the way you just cant beat the content the speed and the retention. Well worth the few extra buxs

No it's not, Astraweb will have more retention, the same content and the same speed, unlimited use $11, and free SSL...you have to pay for SSL for Giganews, so it is not worth it.

Astraweb did not give me full speed when I tried them (about 6 months ago). Tried both NGT, Get and Ventelo but all the same only 50-80% of cap.

Just a heads up so you don't go on a 3 month deal or something right away since you are in the same country

Thanks for the tip!

Astraweb + Giganews.

very happy with them.

they are the best servers avaliable.

 

[Congrats Kevin Jonas ♥]

Only used Giganews upto now and never seen any reason to change. Although recently with the Pound going down it costs me about

it sounds like i should switch to astraweb before my trial with powerusenet comes to an end. true??

 

[purplepassionhll]

Considering switching to astraweb, seems like it gives the most value for the money. Not sure yet, very pleased with newshosting, so if it ain't broke why fix it i guess.

Just joined astraweb. So far I'm very pleased. Getting maximum speed higher retention and ssl encryption all at a lower price than before! So very happy so far!

Leaning more and more towards astraweb myself.Will check it out when my subscription expires after this month.

I'm going to try astraweb at the end of this month. Will post about it later.

Why not? I wanted something.

That decision is up to you, but the $11/month Astraweb package is the best deal IMO.

free usenet servers

Can you max 100 Mbps at Astraweb from Sweden? It's so cheap (compared to Giganews) that I might just switch from bittorent to usenet.

not sure about sweeden, but my dedicated box in france uploads & downloads from astraweb at about 9.5 megs a sec... that's roughly 75 megabits. sweeden probably has similar results.

I realise it's my decision but I am new to this and require as much guidance as I can find. I figure if the majority is using and recommending astraweb, it must mean I should switch to astraweb.

 

[finaldontasy]

hitnews neva had any problems with it and its cheap

 

[lmao]

I just very pleased with moving to astraweb! and now that they are upgrading retention to a whopping 365 days I see no reason to choose anyone else!

 

[Bethany =)]

I used giganews for months but I just recently switched to astraweb because it's more bang for my buck

Police man + donuts. Explains it all.
