The best Usenet provider Giganews has announced that they will be starting to raise the Binary retention from 200 days to 240 days which equals 8 months by year’s end. This once again puts them ahead of the pack of Usenet (Newsgroup) providers. The Binary part of the Usenet are mainly those groups in the alt.binaries hierarchy that allow file uploads and make up most of the Usenet traffic.
Giganews also announced that they are currently running a special for AT&T customers. AT&T, much like Warner and Sprint / Verizon decided to discontinue the alt.binaries support for their customers and Giganews tries to offer them a new save home on the Internet.
AT&T customers will get the same deal that Warner / Verizon / Sprint customers got. They get up to 50% off of the first month of their subscription to Giganews. They can also signup for a free 3 day 10 Gigabyte download limit trial first.
If you want a tip I would definitely pick a Usenet plan that supports encryption to protect your privacy while being connected to the Usenet. Giganews users can also make use of the Giganews Accelerator which speeds up header downloads tremendously.
