Let me be the one to "educate" these people as to what type of a
service Yokubaitis really runs..(Sorry, I know the man personally, and
he is undeserving of a "Mr'" )
Giganews seems like a real great service...from afar. If you are a
Giganews only customer, try cancelling your account..let alone,
getting anyone help from Tech support. When you try to reach someone
at TN in regards to Giganews, you are told that the two are entirely
separate entities, and that there is no "live" person the consumer can
speak with.
More over, if you are a Giganews only customer, Yokubaitis has made
certain that he has "capped" the download bandwidth at which you can
access the newserver. His reasoning, "The assholes on Roadrunner are
eating up Texas.net customer's bandwidth downloading their porn."
Keep in mind, those Roadrunner customers pay a fee to use Giganews.
It won't do a customer of Giganews any good at all to bitch, as
Jonah's flunkys are instructed to just delete the complaints, and
ignore them.
Giganews claims "totally uncensored newgroups"..well, they will never
come right out and tell you that they will not carry your newgroup,
they will simply overlook the request and not add the group, if the
group is of a sensitive subject matter (or something illegal) I
firmly despise anything to do with child pornography or things of that
nature, but why lie to customers? Don't tell them that you are
unsensored, tell them you choose not to carry feeds to groups that are
illegal and/or immoral.
As far as Texas.Net, I have always felt they were a decent outfit, if
you aren't concerned about customer service. TN's latest marketing
ploy is to offer customers 250 MBs of webspace, and up to 10 email
accounts! Ok, sounds great! Or does it? Read the fine print:
All those MBs aren't worth squat when you have a 2 gigaBIT per month
transfer limit!! (Ebayers beware!! You will find your pictures
unavailable within the first week of posting them, and the only way to
get them back is to wait until the next month, when your bandwidth
rolls over OR of course, you could pay another $19.95 for 5 more
gigaBITS of web traffic!!!) Of course the 10 email accounts can only
be used by individuals, not businesses...hmmm...I don't know many
individuals who have a need for 10 email accounts!
I have no problem giving credit where credit is due...when a company
runs a decent, honest outfit, they deserve to be recognized, but you,
Jonah Yokubaitis, are like the "Godfather of the Internet Mafia".
You are crooked, and you really suck!

Very simply, Giganews rocks. It is certainly one of - if not THE - best news
providers around.
If you're going to take the rant of some anonymous asswipe on Usenet as
absolute fact, you deserve the crappy service you will likely end up with.

I hear you're just another alt.net net.kook. Your sure x-post like a stupid
loon.
> Supernews
OK, but nowhere near the feed or retention of Giganews.
> Usnetserver
Again, not even close to Giganews retention or completeness.
> Altopia
The last refuge of the true net.loon. Fine for text. Lousy for binaries. Oh,
and bandwidth capped FAR more severely than Giganews.
> The only issue with altopia it seems is the retention but the other two

> great on retention if that is what you need.
You mean the only issue *other* than Altopia rarely accepts new clients?
Besides Altopia tops out at 9 days retention for binaries. Giganews is
usually 2 weeks or better.
Randori is the only pay news provider I've seen close to Giganews in
retention, but they don't carry anywhere near the number of groups. I've
heard 100proof is good, too, but I've never actually used them.

Dusty

Bullshit.
I've had Giganews accounts and they censor.
And they do more to satisfy Jonah's whims then their customers.

They carry more than 70,000 groups and have MUCH better retention than any
of the providers you mention.
