On the sidebar they mention these three providers

  • newsgroupdirect.com
  • newsdemon.com
  • frugalusenet.com

Does anyone have recommendations between the services? Newsgroupdirect has one monthly plan including "Supernews Access" and "ViperNews Access"... does that provide much of an advantage over the annual plan without those two options? Is the service from the three different providers roughly the same? I'm not sure how to compare these.

I'm a big fan of frugal. Supernews is a giganews server but cheaper, they were purchased over a decade ago. Giganews was recently purchased by a company in didn't recognize, they used to be king until automated dmca. Who knows, now that it's sold maybe the dmca automation has stopped.

Thank you for the feedback, and mentioning the dmca issues, I wouldn’t have known to look about that with usenet.
