What service currently offers the best deal on block accounts?

I'm somewhat new to usenet because I just moved from mostly being a free user on DDL sites (more specifically megaupload *cries*).

I hope what ever service you recommend me can get me speeds at least around 2/mbs like the DDL sites :)

blocknews
though it has slower speed on older files(i tested at 1000 days and i had to use 45 connections to get 5.8-6MB, but i dunno after what exact date it starts to deteriorate)

u'd better use US server(EU is slower) and set active many connections

Thanks for the reply, I will look into Blocknews :)

Oh, and for mostly unrelated to the topic question, when I was google searching through the forums, I was reading a lot of hate about this highwinds usenet company....
Why? 0___0

DMCA takedowns mostly. In the past the pricing wasn't as competitive.

...I'm on blocknews and it's been pretty good so far (it's the first usenet provider i've had so I know it's 'beginner friendly').
