  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.
