Which Service?

Guys-
I have been using free and public access to newsgroup for about a
year or so, since attbi stopped providing the access.

I have been using newshosting.com. I was using usenetserver.com but their
servers were having a melt down one day and they couldn't give me an estimate
of return to service so I bailed. The only people I can tell you to avoid is giganews.
One gigantic customer service nightmare.

Hmmmm.
Dunno what you mean by customer service, but...

I've had GIGANEWS for about a year now.
Superbly satisfied with newsgroups... and binaries.

Speed, reliability, retention and completeness
have been impressive.

I mean that they have NON EXISTANT customer serivce when there is
a problem. They screwed up on my billing. My credit card company attempted
to contact them on the telephone number they give to their credit processor but
it has a recorded announcement saying to send email (which credit card security
folks are not up to doing). They have no way to reach support by telephone.
The email support is slow and surly.
