Should I go with Usenetservers 3 month unlimited service or Giganews Diamond SSL+Unlimited?
Which one is better and why? Is it any difference?
Im running on Canadia ISP (Rogers) at 6mbps D/L.
Thanks in advance.

Giganews is nice.

IMO, it's not necessary at all. I'm not a pro at newsgroups, but from everything I've ever known you can't get busted, so no need for them. It's just a marketing tactic to gain more revenue I think.

Yes, you'll max out with any decent server, Giganews included. You can expect consistent speeds of at least 600kb/s.

So basically downloading from Usenetserver would be the same as Giganews?
e.g If i were using Newsleecher off binsearch.info (http://www.binsearch.info/)
I would get the same result of speeds with the D/L?
Are there any major differences except for the prices?

Same content on Giganews and Usenetserver... There might be some groups that one of them don't have, but it's possible to request and the groups is most likely dead anyway.

I have always had full speed and no down time on Giganews (1.5 years @ 350GB a month), but I haven't used Usenetserver so I don't know if the same goes for them.
