    Which is better?

    I have been looking into joining one of these either

    1. giganews http://www.giganews.com/
    2. Easynews http://www.easynews.com/

    But easy news only offers a 10gig BW for $9.99 which is no way near enough. Is there much difference between the sites?

    THey are selling access to their newsgroup servers (a bit like forums...but more oldschool...)

    Im with...um...hang on... www.newshosting.com unlimited downloads (4 connections) for $14.95/month (about £8.something)

    Yeah they seem good to me Not had retention or completion problems yet (touch wood).

    Yup...newsgroups are good.

    grabit seems a bit rubbish to me tbh...slows my comptuer down majorly...and with the uni connection it downloads faster than it can decode it
    ah well.
    8+ connections are only on the gig limited accounts, unlimited ones are limited to 4 iirc. still cool though
