Anyone using Giganews from the UK? I used to be with another US based
news provider called Zippo, many years back, and they were excellent, I
think Giganews were a competitor of theirs at that time. Zippo seem to
have gone or changed there name maybe?

Thanks.

Giganews allong with Supernews are the so called backbone of usenet,
everything posted to usenet wil get on their network at some point.
Not using Giga my self, and not living in the UK, i can't say anything
else
except that they have 95 - 99% completion.
Maybe you can check the retention time on the giganews website.
All i can say is they are no dought better than you're ISP's
newserver.:)

Newsfeed.com and all the subs like infornews keep away from this.
They say they have this and that worst $10 i spent
Easynews.com and Astraweb are good and if you can take 50 meg a day
try Teranews.com
