With hundreds of Terabytes of storage, thousands of megabits per second, and millions of users around the world creating challenges on a daily basis, you have to have the history and know-how to keep things running smoothly. It's this experience and expertise which allows Giganews to sustain our high service levels when other providers are scrambling to correct problems from the "weekend rush”.

  8. Value
    The value of Giganews' service is in our reliability, high completion rates, and our expansive retention times. Other providers come and go with unlimited accounts and good retention, but in the end it always comes out to more of the same: downtime, missing articles, and a congested Usenet system. Giganews virtually never has these problems. Our members don't complain about dropped connections, congestion, or missing articles. Giganews' members are able to utilize Usenet and go on with their lives. Of course you can always hack your way through bad service to save a few dollars, but ultimately the money you save is negated by the time you spend to save it. Giganews gives you a service which is always there, always high quality, and always exceeds your expectations.
  9. Privacy
    Giganews respects your privacy, which is why we will never share your information with outside parties or track your downloads unless required by law.
  10. Security
    Help protect yourself from identity theft, secure your username and password, and work around artificial bandwidth restrictions with Giganews' optional 256-bit SSL Encrypted Usenet™ package.
  11. Spam
    Over the years Giganews has been an industry leader in stamping out spam on Usenet. In combination with our active monitoring of spam sources on Usenet, Giganews has a cutting edge spam filtration system designed to keep unwanted articles out of your favorite groups.
  12. Flexibility
    No one service is right for everyone, so at Giganews we offer you multiple options to fit your needs. You'll also get the ability to control and monitor your service through our advanced web based Control Panel.
