2012 Top Quality Usenet Provider Award: Giganews

For the last 12 months the marriage between Golden Frog and Giganews has been one that all their membership has enjoyed immensely…if the postings and raves are to be believed. They started out in 1994 with high quality newsfeeds, and have done nothing but move up from there. In the beginning it was tough, we’re sure. But through the years they have continued to strive to gain the reputation that they enjoy today: One of the best, most reliable Usenet services available.

Their Last Year In Review

For the year we have been watching as Giganews added VyprVPN service into their offering, and later in the year they also gave up the goods on their Dump Truck online storage service to their members. They also added in the new WebDAV support for their online storage. Although their memberships are a little pricier than the rest of the Usenet providers, if reliability and speed are of more concern than money, then these guys are the ones to go with.

Of the Usenet providers, Giganews is the limousine. Here’s a few of the highlights of their service:

• Dump Truck storage free for all their members.
• VyprVPN service free to all Giganews members.
• Speed limited only by your connection and preferences.
• Mimo Newsreader, free from Golden Frog. Integrated search with full featured filters, and thumbnails.
• 1,258 days of retention and 100% completion rate.
• 100% uptime, 24/7 support, and a 14 day free trial.

Giganews In Our News

Throughout the year we have maintained tabs on all our providers, and of course, Giganews has managed to come up in a lot of our blogs. For the year 2011, heres a few of the more often read articles that we published here on UsenetReviews:

• Giganews Announces Personal Storage Space
• Giganews Announcement: 1,200 Days Of Retention
• Giganews Announces A VyprVPN App Is Available
• Mimo Improves Their User Interface Again
• Giganews Launches More Secure Protocols, Eliminates Man-In-Middle Attack

And that’s just a few of the times that Giganews has caught our eye. There were a lot of other times, but far too many to list here. But this is to be expected from one of the most well respected and customer oriented companies in any industry. And in a few short years, Giganews has managed to become deemed as the Limousine of Usenet services.

Well, congratulations Giganews. You guys, (and gals,) have worked hard to earn this honor, and we commend you n your dedication to quality full featured Usenet service…and a little more. Tweet us what you think of our selection for this years award at @usenetreviewz.
