Looking for a good Usenet Provider

[Topshelf]

Anyone have any info on the better newsgroup providers? I'm using my @Home's standard newsgroups now. But I just did the 3 day trial at Easynews and I can't believe how much stuff I am blocked from. So it looks like if I'm gonna get into this VCD thing(which is cool as hell) I need to get on a good service. So if anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

You've already tried one of the very best...easynews! While not perfect they do correct problems quickly and are more likely to have full posts then most. Airnews.net is good if you want unlimited downloads speed is limited by how much you are paying. The basic $9.95 is limited to 128kb (apox 2x 56k dial up). But I've got @home it's really pretty good most of the time and I use Easy news for the missing posts. Yes they have more news groups but how many do you really need!

Thanks Stinky.

And Schwinn, I see your point exactly. That was one of my main concerns with the pricing. I am trying to figure out a nice compromise with spending tons of $$$. Maybe I'll do the Easynews for a month or two in conjunction with @Home and see how things work out.

Thanks guys.
