San Diego, CA | Re: Usenetserver spooling to 400 days! Inflex is right. Usenetserver and Easynews are both owned by Highwinds and have been for a few years. | |

He doesn't know what he's talking about...

In the past few years I haven't heard of any serious issue moreover they always had software offerings for providers etc. They were always a solid choice for backbone, I believe.

Highwinds is actually bigger than most provider out there (Giganews might be bigger but not sure, HW either owns or serves a lot of small providers.)
They are REAL provider, unlike many resellers.

However it still doesn't address your first hilarious comment claining they are "hardly a competition" - as a matter of fact it's quite vica versa: there are very few others out there who can be competitive against Highwind.

They're hardly competition to those that know the dirty secrets[censorship anyone?]

| Re: Usenetserver spooling to 400 days! I think UseNetServer is competitive in offering service for $10/mo and $95/yr. Few providers compete with Astraweb on price. For unlimited accounts its Astraweb, UseNetServer and Usenet Now. For block accounts its BlockNews, Astraweb and Usenet News.

Kenner, LA | Yes I know it is still good news to throw another provider into the bucket that is trying to keep up. It will just force more upgrades!  | |
