Usenet News Service (1 Viewer)

[MrTRiX]

Everyone using SABnzbd has to be getting there Usenet service from somewhere. Which one is your favorite? I have tried 2 ISP servers (Shaw/Sasktel), Giganews, Supernews & Astraweb in the past.

I really liked Giganews and was with them for 4 years. But since to save money I moved to Supernews and I have been happy with them as well. I recently upgraded my internet to 100 Mbps download and Supernews can get it to 11,800 KBps.

I've been happy with usenetmonster. Good retention, pretty fast downloads, and reasonable pricing (many plans to choose from).

Not sure I can post a link in this forum, just add the "www" before their name and the ".com" after to get there...

I don't see why you can't post a link, nothing illegal about Usenet Monster. I had never heard of them but I like there $99.95/year, that's a pretty good deal as long as they don't go out of business.

Wasn't sure about the link - some forums don't allow you to link to any outside "services".

I've been with usenetmonster for about 2-years now. They have plans as low as $3 USD/month for 5-gigs of downloads. All the way up to $99/year for unlimited.

They also have "rollover' - if you have a 10-Gig/month plan, for example, and only use 7-Gig this month, you can roll the other 3-Gig over to next month.

I used to do a LOT more downloading via Usenet than I do now, so I'm currently only on the 10-Gig/month plan. Still, even when I was downloading lots more, I was always happy with the speed (and retention / completeness). I would recommend them to anyone looking to try out a usenet provider, especially for only $3/month for the cheapest plan.

Ya I don't think links is a big deal here. My original post links to 3 different sites. Thanks for the recommendation, I would add it to the poll but I don't really got much control over a poll once I post it, kinda silly for the moderator/original poster.

Ya Giganews is #1 in service and adds lots of features without upping price.

I'm new @ usenet (n00b ), but decided to go for Atstraweb after reading reviews. I think their "special-price-for-you-my-friend" $11 a month unlimited DSL gives god "bang for the buck".

Retention is currently 495 days.

Btw, to get the above $11/month offer listed above, go to astraweb via -> Newsgroup Servers - Reviews, Coupon Codes, Free Usenet Access

Been with Giganews for 3 years now, and must say that i haven't had one single regret ever.
Outstanding support and excellent speed.

Astraweb is my fav due to price and retention. Almost get the same retention as Giganews, don't know about speed but get close to my max of 10 - 15 Mbps, all for the low price of $96 yearly which was on special a few months ago. Would like to try Giganews but not going to pay almost 4 times the price for pretty much equal features.
