Best Usenet provider I have been a Usenet user since the early days of EarthLink Dial-up. EarthLink provided free Usenet access. After they stopped offering access, I bounced around between various free and paid Usenet providers and some of them were ok, but most had incomplete binaries. I had to use two providers to complete binaries. Not sure how I found Newsdemon (probably through a search engine) but I decided to give them a try. With their advertisements of 99% completion rates and fastest speeds, I was skeptical at first. After a few months of usage, I was a believer. And still am today.

Upgrade from Astraweb Tested this as I had been running astraweb for some time. Extra 30ssl connection (50 total) make downloads that little bit faster and have had a reliable download experience so far. Price is also more competitive compared to other providers.

Fast and reliable Works just good and fast, and is relatively cheap. One disadvantage though: max 1 IP can be used at the same time, which can cause some trouble with owning 2 houses, I hope that will be changed in the future. For example you can use 50 connections, so maybe it shall be that you can use 25 connections on the first IP and 25 connections on the second IP.

Reliable, as-advertised service. I got exactly what I expected, no caveats, exclusions, or excuses. They said "unlimited", with no asterisk, and it's what they gave me. The word "unlimited" usually means nothing, but at Newsdemon, it means exactly what you think it should.

Used many news groups in the past. I have used many news groups in the past. On the recommendation of a friend I signed up. I was delightfully surprised, once setup it found files I was looking for immediately that other news groups did not have! I am cancelling the others!
