| PowerUsenet vs UsenetServer I've been using PowerUsenet for about 3 years without any blips or problems. I've often seen UsenetServer offering a lot better pricing than what I am currently paying /mo. with Power. UNS currently has a $95/yr offer that I was considering. Would I have the same level of service with UNS or should I just stay with Power? |

| Honestly, between those two, power usenet is the better of the pair IMO. Reliability is better with Power Usenet but you have the price premium as you know. Depending on how heavy you hit the service maybe you would not notice a difference there though.

Usenetserver is an excellent choice for long retention, downloads that will always be there and speed that doesn't drop - You can get a year for under $96 or $10/month - another plus over power and super is that they have actual live 24/7 humans if you need them - you don't get dropped in email limbo  |

I second the vote to switch over to Supernews. »supernews.com/super-special/ Use that link and you can get $9.99 a month unlimited or $99 a year unlimited.

Truthfully support has not been needed with UsenetServer - but again it's nice to know that they are backed by really awesome support if or when you need it - that matters more to some than others but it is definitely a big plus if your ever in a crunch or just have a question |

Tonight, I ended up going with UNS (for now) with the $10/mo deal. I considered the cheaper yearly one, but for the $20/yr difference between the two, I figured this way I can cancel if the service is crap. As of now, it's maxing out my dsl connection.
Strangely, I used the link on the NGR site to access the discounted prices, which the UNS site did display, but after filling in acct info, they wanted to hit me up $15/mo.. I cancelled and used the link from binsearch, and and went through fine at the discounted price. Go figure. |

Enjoy the UNS account. We have two links on NGR. One is for the $10/mo. and $95/yr. offers. The other is for a two week free trial of UNS. The free trial ends in retail pricing. Not sure which link you clicked on. If you'll kindly PM me which page / link you clicked we'll ensure others don't run into the same issue. Thanks!
