Giganews Wins Our Best Overall Provider for 2011
In the summer of 1998, Giganews officially opened for business and they haven’t looked back since. As other Usenet news services began to establish themselves in the Usenet community, Giganews reputation for quality spread quickly and consequently growth for Giganews was rapid.
Today, Giganews is the world’s largest newsgroup provider and luckly for you as a potential Giganews user they are are well known for their high quality article completion and perhaps more importantly record breaking retention levels.
Giganews has also been known for their quality customer support but really, if you have a bit of experience with Usenet – once you get going and if everything is working then you don’t need much customer support. So customer support for normal Usenet users is often minimal.
Best Overall Provider Award for 2011
To the point, UsenetReviewz is picking Giganews to be our Best Overall provider of 2011 and we are sure to see great things from them this coming year. 2010 was marked industry leading innovations for Giganews with the addition of VyprVPN and the launch of their Usenet browser Mimo. Both of these offerings have helped to improve the Usenet experience for regular Usenet users.
Living outside of the USA, I have found Giganews VPN to be very useful at times. Competition is good for the Usenet industry when it comes down to the end users experience and as consumers of Usenet we can appreciate the security innovations provided by a combined VPN / Usenet service and by more effective Usenet searching with Mimo.
