Anybody here have decent Usenet access?

Easynews or something of that ilk?   Something that has retention of a few weeks or more?
Thanks

Weekly retention is less important than completion rate. What use is a message 2 weeks old, if its missing parts?

Giganews worked well for me last time I needed it.

Yes. I started with Easynews, went to UseNetServer. I moved on to Newshosting a few months ago and use Giganews as my fller (from my broadband account provided). Been rock solid and great retention. Easynews was great as well but their transfer limit cost would put me in bankruptcy if I stayed (not high, I just transferred a lot). :)
