Suck Feeds

Suck feeds are an effective way for internet services providers or to offer Usenet content with minimal effort. By using a suck feed, an ISP can request any newsgroup articles they desire from an established Usenet provider, removing the need to install an in-house Usenet server. Giganews provides Usenet service not only to individual users, but also numerous ISPs that want to offer their customers the best Usenet service possible. Here's what makes a suck feed from Giganews better than anything else:

• Extensive Usenet peers. Giganews is peered with more other Usenet servers than any other provider, so articles found on our suck feed are an accurate snapshot of Usenet activity.
• 1895+ days of text retention and 200+ days of article retention. Your customers will be amazed at the availability of every article.
• Near-perfect article completion. Don't worry about articles that have been damaged in transit - our completion is 99% or better in all major newsgroups.
• 24-hour technical support. We are always available to ensure your suck feed is working without issue.

Note that this information is most useful ISPs that desire to outsource their Usenet offerings. Individual consumers should check out our service offerings just for them.
