OT: External binaries?

Hi,

My neighbour is a Plusnet customer and would like access to binary
Usenet. Any suggestions for best deals and rates if possible?

Thank you.

Forte does newsgroups inc binaries for $2.95 pcm.

There is another outfit that does it by the pre-paid GB ( bought in large lumps
) very cheap but I forget which now.

You'd have to be downloading ~ 200GB a month to justify that price !

I forgot to mention that the Forte $2.95 deal includes 7GB.

Easynews. Fantastic service, and their web-front-end with its global
search is the best thing since ... well, since Audiogalaxy closed down

www.easynews.com

I was using Giganews - great service, can't fault them at all. However I
switched to www.newshosting.com because they are cheaper, but they do
not have as much retention and I am rarely able to get 10mbs out of
them. However, there are rarely any missing articles.

Thank you everyone, I will pass on the info and let him decide.

Cheers
