I've been using Supernews now for several days and so far it's worked great. Good retention, completeness and speed. Also the signup process using paypal went smoothly and I had my login credentials within a minute after completing my payment. Personally I'm giving them 5 stars across the board except for retention which is slightly less than some other 'premium' providers. But in all honesty their retention is more than long enough so that's just nitpicking really. As far as speed goes I can only test up to my lines capacity of 8 megabits (which their servers can keep maxed out), if you have a faster pipe your mileage might vary..I'd be interested in seeing just how fast their servers can really go though.

I needed to reboot my router the next time I update the review as im on a wifi network with lots of other computers here in the house. Also - I will show completeness in the new redone video review coming out. All of the Usenet providers reviewed so far on video Giganews, Supernews and Astraweb have not shown any problem with completeness. Also going to follow up with you privately. Thanks Eric,

That aside you left out one valuable bit of information about the service, completeness. 300+ days of retention is useless for large binary posts if they're missing parts. I'll probably give them a try based on the price though. I know for a fact GigaNews has a top flight service but they want 25/month for unlimited transfer.
