On the network status page it says > Sat, 3 Nov 2007 18:43:36 GMT
We had a router failure today. All is fixed now, but this event will effect service levels for the next several hours.
We are also aware that many of you are experiencing 400 errors. We are still uncertain of the cause of these errors but looking into them.
-----------------
Well i ve been with them for some time, but something is fishy
Copy paste from usenetserver.support newsgroup >
They already know what it is. They apparently don't care enough to fix
it. And it'll never get fixed as long as many of their customers
continue making excuses for the crappy service.
I've heard rumors that UseNetServer sold out to Highwinds Media. I've
dismissed it as just that, rumors. But perhaps there's some truth to
it. Perhaps UseNetServer really did sell out and join other Highwinds
resellers such a Teranews, and NNTPServer. Just a couple of examples of
other unreliable news services.
---------------------------------
I'll change providers any recommendation for the same price ?
cheers
Edit : As for now i can't connect at all. SSL ect..
nntp9.usenetserver.com ,nntp10.usenetserver.com doesn't even work
Any ideas what this routing path is AS23352 ? I get that by default.

I have thought something like this may have been going on as well, doubly so since they removed graphs on the network status page. Yesterday I talked to support again and they issued me an additional 14 days free service but what good is it when you cant use it, ya know. To bad really because I am also on the hunt for another provider.
The only other one I know of that is the same price is >http://www.ngroups.net/
But there are many others as well some may not be as cheap but offer better retention and/or SSL:

>http://www.giganews.com/
>http://www.newsrazor.net/
>http://www.newsfeeds.com/

The one that caught my eye was newsfeeds.com and Thundernews.com So I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with them??

this issue is so fucking annoying. I just joined with them b/c I was having some incomplete issues on my ISP's newserver, which has been great for the past year or so.
I didn't realize how slow I was downloading. The speeds with usenetserver are awesome, topping out at 14Mbps. I was downloading movies in under 45 minutes. :-O I'm currently closing and opening newsbin to get a connection going.
I don't know why they can't fix this.
i can't use the service now tell me 400 too many connection,but i always use only 10.. never change...
Can anyone tell me if one of this DON'T HAV auto-renewing same http://www.usenetserver.com/en/index.php ?

I thought my ISP finally was doing some kind of throttling on me. For a little over a week I've been getting slow speeds, and connections errors.
I really think I will be switching over to Giganews before my subscription renews.
This is BS....
I just cancelled, same problems as everyone else
just got giganews, downloading stuff from april 13th at full bandwidth (10 Mb). this rocks
yeah slow as hell here too...
using the 5 server split suggested.
Now go away.
