While looking for another newsgroup provider, I found out that Newsdemon has a promotion where they are giving you one month free in return for writing about them in your blog. I said, eh, what the heck, why not?
After using usenetserver.com for a few excruciating months, I needed something better. Usenetserver.com was horrible; I could never connect on the first try, lots of timeouts, and lots of incomplete files.
I came from using Giganews, so I guess I was a bit spoiled, but the $30/month price swayed me from renewing.
I ended up doing a Google search for "best usenet provider" and ran into Newsdemon.
Their prices are reasonable and their reviews were good. There's a 20% off coupon code for life floating around on the internet to make the prices even better!
I'm hoping to try this provider and see if they really provide what they say. After a bad experience with usenetserver.com, I really need something new.
