usenetnow vs astraweb

[Hypatia]

Isnt usenetnow a reseller of the same company as ngroups?
Then i'd be worried about download speed on older stuff

all you new signups the reason USENETNOW SUCKS BIGTIME since 1rst week of Dec 2010 ? Both Speed and Stabilty in the toilet -began reporting and requesting fix it as of
Dec 9 canceled today as steadily worsened on both servers !

And that's why competition is a good thing, as well as not prepaying for a year in advance. If you don't like the service simply cancel and move on to somewhere else.

What about old files? Like posted ,say, 700-800 days ago?

The speed is definitely not consistent.

People can say what they want about Highwinds, but honestly they give me the most steady speed per connection of any usenet provider and I have tried pretty much all of them.
