Which provider would you guys consider to be the cheapest and best in terms of getting an unlimited speed (or 3 megabit), unlimited GB per month, and decent retention (7days atleast)

I use to have them and they were pretty good. After that I had astraweb(I think that was it), now I have Powerusenet. So far I think they are better then both of the above. The binary retention is just better. Giganews seems to be the best and I know a few people that have it but powerusenet is like 10 bucks less a month so I've sticking with them. If I start having issues I'm going to end up with giganews.

$15/month
Maxes out my 5MB connection (8 connections max)
Unlimited downloads
Retention is in the 45 day range, and completion seems fine to me

Been with them for a very long time, and zero complaints. I don't know if I've ever noticed any downtime.
 
I like Astraweb. I am a light user so their 90gB for $25 is the best deal around. I can take as many months as I want to download things I want as they come along. AND they max out my 5mb connection. They also have unlimited gigabytes with a 1mb speed cap at $10 a month, and Unlimited with no speed cap for $15 a month.

agree.
I have tested newshosting on an Internet2 connection and it maxes out the 5MB/sec..... thats megabyte per second.
 
Newshosting. Call in person/be convincing, and you get a reaaaaaly good deal. I paid $10/mo for unlimited GB/10 connections (I assume 10, I couldn't get NewsBin any higher) and regularly maxed out 8mbps Comcast and 12-15mbit uni pipes. Good stuff, cheap stuff.

Go there and read all about each newsgroup server.

I have tried many and giganews is the best. The most expensive but the best. Newshosting is a close second and probably the best bang for the buck. I have had both and I prefer Giganews.
 
Both Easynews and Newshosting are great.

It should be noted that Easynews gives you rollover as well.
 
I use Easynews and like it. The rollover is cool, because I dl stuff sporatically, and I usually have a lot of GBs left over from previous months.
Dont use it much since NZBzone.com shut down.
 
I agree with daemionsos on using astraweb. I've been using them for over 2 years. Very rare downtimes. Cheap at $15/mo unlimited, and file retention imho, is some of the best I have seen with any news provider I have used. They also have fantastic speed, always max out my line at about 4.86mb. YMMV, but ive recommended several friends of mine and they love it as well.
 
Newshosting.com +

Awsome retention (I find frequently more than 50 days) Fast and never down.

I'll agree they are good. I switched to them back when usenetserver was having issues. I switched to Powerusenet when I was having issues with astraweb(think it was a comcast issue but it was making me mad). Powerusenet seems to be better as far as retention goes and a tiny bit faster but astraweb was solid.
 
Another vote for Newshosting. Been using them for a year... I can easily max out a 100mbit connection, and 1000mbit at work would do pretty well if I had a faster hard drive :)
