www.octanews.com for speed

www.giganews.com for retention

other offers out there. Avoid 100proofnews as it is a spam sewer, and
giving them money won't help cure that problem.

Octanews has lower retention but I like it for speed and completion.
There is also Supernews and various other reseller accounts you could
pick from.

This deal has been mentioned as being excellent value
http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php

Forte Agent reselling an unlimited deal for $14.75 pcm with unlimited
speed. I forget who it is who does the backend but apparently it's
cheaper than going direct to the provider.

Best check alt.binary.news-server-comparison but avoid some of the flame-
wars between different factions - sometimes limited signal over the noise!!

Lots seem to be resellers of the same service... from a post on a.b.n-s-c


This is by no means a complete list, and may contain errors:

Highwinds : Ngroups.NET, Usenet-News, Usenet.se, AnonyNews,
100proofnews, Newsgroups-Download, Buzzardnews

Newshosting : Atlantisnews, Newsgroupdirect, Newsdemon, Titannews,
Shared-Secrets, Usenetrocket, Usenet-Unlimited, UsenetGuide

Giganews : Surfino, Orangeusenet, Cheapnewsgroups, Rhinonewsgroups,
Powerusenet, Infinityusenet, UsenetGiant, FastUsenet

Supernews: Agent Premium Newsgroups , Usenext (?)

NNTPServer : Yottanews, Teranews, Bubbanews, UltraFeed

Newsfeeds (Alias Usenet.com , Binaries.net , Nuthinbutnews ,
Newsgroups.com): uncensorednewsfeed , thenewsgroups.com,
usenet-access (Alias My-Binaries) , Alibis

Usenetserver: FlashNewsgroups (Randori)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like my choices of APN and Teranews are from Supernews (which
supplies the binaries for Metronet customers) and NNTPserver (that
was noted anyway because the account info included that name).
It seems Astraweb is separate from the above list... Peter M.

I'd recommend easynews because of their incredible web front-end, which
includes a _global_ search page.

A good service but hardly unlimited.

Only two choices IMO. Giganews 60 day retention and $25 a month or
newshosting 35 day retention for $15 a month.

I was shopping around too.

Tabulated these in order of cost/gig for approx $10/month

Currently use the Forte cheapest offering ($3/month for 7 gigs) just
for fills and find them excellent. Will probably stick with them.
Forte is provided by Supernews

Usenetserver http://www.usenetserver.com/ You can try them for 3 days for
$3. I've participated in a couple of their free weekend trials and was
quite impressed.
