I had used their Slickvpn product in the past and after I got an email from Slickvpn with a coupon for Newsdamon I thought I would give it a try. It is amazing what I can find!

I am impressed! I am impressed! Having been a customer at Giganews since 2006, I realized that a) their retention time was getting worse and worse and b) they charged me USD29.99 monthly even though new customers could sign up for 21.99. Old files (+5 years), that I thought was lost forever, suddenly appeared and downloaded perfectly on Newsdemon. At full speed (60 MB/sec on a VPN-connection). And at a much more competetive pricing. Goodbye Giganews - good day Newsdemon. Well done!

fast reliable few news group restrictions as in the title there service is fast reliable and with vpn core service added onto router its a good price. only problem I have is a few obscure groups are not available unlike with astraweb. also cancelation is one click, setup is simple.

Newsdemon upgraded their servers in… Newsdemon upgraded their servers in late 2020 so they are now their own backbone. They are also supposed to be adding a second US based server farm early in 2021. This is a great move for the usenet industry and helps keep the industry alive longer. Their previous provider has been rapidly buying up websites in an attempt to create a majority and raise prices on everyone. My service level has not changed much at all after I logged in and re-downloaded all the headers (the article header numbers changed after their move). I think I may actually be faster than before but it is hard to tell. The support team worked with me to help get this done and I can thank Brent for being very patient and helpful with me.

So far excellent experience with the Newsdemon service! So far excellent experience with the Newsdemon service! Subscribing went very smooth. Setup was reasonable easy (didn't use the preferred clients). And although download during the day is changing I get to ~20 MB/s download and connection is never interrupted. So far (several days) I'm quite happy.
