Yet another Usenet post
    #5482344 - 04/05/06 10:42 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Ok, so I finally am getting the hang of Usenet.  I'm using verizon's news server, which is allright..

do all servers send spikes of bandwidth?  As in 400k/s then 0..then 400..then 0 for a while..

If I pay for Giganews, will it be a fairly constant 400k/s instead of spikes of speed with nothing in between?  I'm using GrabIt, do other news readers do a better job? 

And why, on news providers comparison sites, is UseNext never reviewed?  They look good, if I pay for one, it's either gonna be UseNext or Giganews, I think.

So that's my deal on Usenet.  Thanks.  :blush:

giganews or a decent premium provider should always max out your connection. Easynews has a nice feature to find your best and fastest route I've always loved them despite the 20gb limit. Newshosting is also ok for unlimited account. Of the two you have I would problably choose giganews.
