    I'm currently using the GigaNews account provided by my cable company but am limited to 5GB a month. I'm debating whether or not to pay for an upgraded GigaNews account or go with someone else. TitanNews has a deal where you get 31GB a month and 1000MB a day for $99 yearly. What's everyone else using?

    I use my existing pipex newsgroups (which has been crap lately - but used to be as goodas the pay groups) & I also sub to claranews (£30 PER YEAR!!).

    I get files with thepipex one and then use the clara one to fill!!!

    I use the standard Optimum Online newsgroups, they're pretty fast and dont seem to have a download limit, but the retention span is short (~2 days) and you can only download 2 files at a time.

    I use Charter's, which SUCKS. Slow download speed, but long retention time (4-5 days), it takes nearly 3 days to download a DVD size file . BTW, to SBC Yahoo DSL users, do they offer a news server? Just wondering, cuz we may be switching to it.
