I've actually been with Easynews for some time now here & have been pretty happy with them. Great speeds and rock solid reliability. However, I was interested in something with more retention and not necessarily "unlimited" space. I don't download that much right now to be interested in an unlimited option.
Easynews has been pretty good and they recently allowed users access to new servers that have about 105 days of retention. Not as good as Giganews, but still not too bad. The big thing I like about Easynews is that the unused gigs rollover so I currently have about 50+GB accumulated in my account. I guess this is probably a tactic to keep users, but as long as they keep being reliable, I'll keep using them and they have me hooked. I suppose this is also probably sort of a "hybrid" option and lies somewhere between "unlimited" account offerings and limited account types.
They have a good search tool as well, but I have found some NZB sites that can provide just as good so that isn't huge. Also, they now allow you to download more per month if you use these new servers. Essentially you can squeeze 60GB/month from the new servers so I am probably gonna accumulate even more down the road.
For $10/month though, its a cheaper option than Giganew's $20 unlimited plans & if I need something from Giganews, I'll just use my Comcast Giganews connection, but I was hoping I could find a cheaper alternative that has high rentetion rates like Giga does. Oh well, the search continues.
