    I totally agree with your comment , almost every one focuses price to save a tiny amount of money, later they post in forums about the problems with xyz provider.

    In the forums Giganews receives very little in the way of complainants.

    Yes Giganews IS expensive they invest the most amount of money in their infrastructure then any other provider.
    Giganews is the BEST.

    I used to be a Giganews customer paying 24.99/mo for their unlimited plan. I used to always see ads that advertised prices that were much lower than this with just as many days of retention. I figured they probably had many files corrupted or slow download speed.

    One day, I saw an ad for astraweb that said $11.00/mo and I decided to just give it a shot. Guess what, it's JUST as good for more than HALF the price with over 600 days of retention.

    That guy from Bennett Technics is obviously a part of Giganews' advertising company.

    It's not even just astraweb that's cheaper, ALL OTHER USENET providers are cheaper!

    Don't bother with giganews!

    That's not true at all, usenetserver,newshosting and astraweb all have retention > 600 days giganews is nothing special and they quite over priced as they are the most expensive usenet provider on the planet..

    They cost too much and their service is really no better than anyone else's. Save some money and get a newsdemon or astraweb account!

    I cancelled with GigaNews then they started billing me again! I contacted support, but you can guess what good that did.

    *** THIS MESSAGE IS LONG - PLEASE READ ENTIRE MESSAGE ***

    I have been using Giganews' USENET services for approaching two years now. Since the very first time I started using USENET for Internet resources, I was subscribed to a provider known as "News Demon" which at that time, had a fairly reasonable service. I began using USENET more frequently, and decided to look for a better provider. After finding Giganews, I decided to try their services in comparison to my current USENET provider. In contrast, I was extremely astonished at their services and how superior they are to others offering similar services for lower prices. I had my reservations, and wandered if Giganews would be worth paying that extra amount for the subscription, yet since then continued to use Giganews, and have never looked back!

    Giganews continue to impress, and much further beyond the services of all other USENET providers I have compared them to. Since January 2009, Giganews have been focusing on expanding their network service capabilities, and are now the leading provider of USENET services worldwide.

    To anyone looking for a better USENET provider, Giganews may be a slight* amount more expensive than other providers, however, this provider service is more than worth the price!!!

    With previously over 365 days (1 year) and now approaching beyond 400+ days of Binary groups retention, 99.9% completion, and 50** simultaneous connections with unlimited downloads, Giganews are generations/miles ahead of ALL other providers!

    I cannot stress enough how much they lead this area of high-bandwidth network data repository service!

    My final conclusive statement:

    "If you want the best of the best, and need to choose... Forget the rest, you NEED Giganews!!!"
