Moving to Usenet

Another one for Ngroups.NET, also on the $10 unlimited price plan and had no problems.

I use Newsdemon. Unlimited with 110 completion for 14 euro. I'm very pleased with speed, always capping my DSL.

I think $25 /mo is too much as well. Then again 200 days of retention is a lot. I usually get the $39.95 for 3 months with Usenetserver. The speed is great for me. I max my 10Mbit connection. I was getting the too many connections BS but I splitted the connections between servers and adjusted my setttings in Newsleecher and is good now.

Ngroups sounds even cheaper but I have never been with them so I can't provide feedback.

Oh yeah there is also Easynews. I still use it. $9.99 for 20 gigs though and you can get free gigs doing a weekly survey too. Nothing beats it with their web interface and all the features it has. The speed is amazing too. I have over 350 gigs banked because I have been with them for like 4 years. I wish I could use all those gigs but lol I just can't.

I wish it had better retention though. Then I would not use Usenetserver at all. I just read that their new NNTP farms in US and Europe have 70 days retention.

No need for the 24.99 one. The $19/month one is fine.

$19.99 for the 1st month and after this $29.99
2 months diamond unlimited=(19.99+29.99)/2=$24.99/month
1 month platinum unlimited=$24.99
this is too much for me, i use Ngroups $9.99 promo

Currently The two i have in mind are NewsDemon, and Giganews what does everyone else use, and are there any tips or anything I should know before starting the whole usenet thing. I have also looked at Newshosting & UseNetServer but neither of them seemed to meet my needs. So any help with this will be wonderful.

Thanks

Sooo.... what did you go with?
