Fts usenet quality?

I looking for a new ISP and Fts is currently in the lead.
Can anyone here tell me what their usenet service is like? Currently
I'm spoiled with Giganews access via my Nildram account and if I have
to subscribe to a premium newsservice I'll have to factor it into my
costings.

I'm looking for good completion on binaries with 7 days or so
retention.

If you mean f2s (Freedom2serve) then I've found it excellent. However,
as far as I know, their news server only supports text, i.e. no binaries.

I do of course, fts was a brain fart.

<sigh> I supposed as much.
Are there any half-decent providers that give an uncapped service with
good binary Usenet access?
If it were not for the current caps, I'd definitely stay with Nildram.

I use Teranews http://www.teranews.com - one off payment of ~£3.00 or so,
full binaries, but a cap of 50Mb/day , but you can upgrade to unlimited.
