Reader Servers

A Reader Server is a computer within a Usenet system used to allow end users to post and download Usenet articles. A reader server may also be part of a larger Usenet cluster which may include feeder and storage servers. Giganews provides an army of geographically redundant reader servers to help ensure we have enough capacity to allow our customers to download as fast as their connections will allow.

I am totally and completely impressed with your news server! This is world class Usenet service and the best I have ever seen!

My ISP has that "other" newsgroups service. Their newsgroups retention time is 2 days at best, and headers are often not complete. Your prices are fair, speed is right on the money, and I always STAY connected, something my ISP's news server has big problems doing.
