Newsgroup Reader

To get started in the world of Usenet, you need two things: a newsgroup provider and a newsgroup reader. While different newsgroup readers have their own positives and negatives, Giganews is the gold standard among newsgroup providers.

  • 110,000+newsgroups and counting. Fill your newsgroup reader with groups related to just about any topic
  • Over 1895 days of text retention and 200 days of binary retention. With access to months or even years of articles, you'll never worry about missing an interesting topic.
  • Use up to 10 concurrent connections. When using a newsgroup reader that takes advantage of multiple connections, your sessions will be more efficient and much faster overall.
  • 99% or better average article completion. Our dynamic servers save you the time it takes to repair damaged articles, by providing data that's already largely free of damage.
  • Full-time customer support. Our support team can quickly help out with many issues, from billing inquires to setting up a newsgroup reader.

Of course, we also offer much more than this brief list of benefits. Sign up for our complimentary three-day trial and see what it's like to be with the best!
