That's a long commitment for a Usenet service. Service and retention can change for a provider quickly. Going for good to bad, ect. Currently GigaNews is having retention issues, which I'm sure they are going to fix sooner or later. Probably with a huge retention increase. My point is that that if a MAJOR usenet provider like GigaNews can have issues (going on two months now) other providers can have service/retention problems. Not saying it was a bad decision, for the price you got I might have jumped on it. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable committing more then month to month. With the recent retention increase announcements from AstraWeb and NewsHosting, I wonder if anyone who is locked into a long term deal with other usenet providers are regretting it? -- Dr. Web 5.0 + SuperAntiSpyware Pro + Router/SPI
