Currently, I am looking at both GigaNews and Power Usenet news/usenet services since Time Warner Cable RoadRunner is discontinuing its free unlimited (no caps!) news/usenet service on 6/23/2008. Now, I need a third party that is similiar to it. I am still researching on what the best usenet/news server to get. I looked at EasyNews and SuperNews, but they had caps.
The two listed ones are a bit pricey for what I want: 1. Binary retentions (doesn't need crazy amounts of days like 100!). 2. Download speed during low usage hours (peak hours I can usually avoid). Posting is very rare and usually text posts in non-binary newgroups. 3. Good support from providers if problems occur. 4. Cheap prices (doubt free exists with third parties). 5. No limits especially caps! Sometimes I download 1 GB and sometimes I do 30 (rarely). 6. Nice to have but not required: Security/Encryptions (will need to figure how to set this in Linux for Pan and Tin).
Ngroups.Net offer for Time Warner and Verizon (No Sprint). The offers are visible from their start page. But it is only visible if you access it from Time Warner and Verizons network. The price is $29.99 per quarter ( Recurring subscription, unlimited downloads)
