Last Day
In other news, Giganews continues to grow their retention and they just crossed the 700 day retention barrier.  Presently only Astraweb is close behind with 697 days. UsenetServer and Newshosting are at around 590 ( which is still a LOT ) considering not too long ago 30 days of binary retention was great. Below we have some interesting history taken from a Giganews press release and their website.

Editorial Commentary: Giganews has been a market leader and innovator for many years now. As they mention, innovating products such as SSL and an accelerator and now a VPN that will protect and provide anonymity for Usenet users. Their solid level of service, completion rates and add-ons such as VyprVPN can justify the higher price. Save while you can with their World Cup special.
