Bonne idée, bravo !
Good idea, after years of painful surprises and desapointments, my quest for a reliable newshosting company has ended earlier this year. it's like a dream come true. I used to have 3 or 4 days retention with my previous one... it was a nightmare. And now, with this blog, it'll be probably very interesting and maybe even useful. I live in Switzerland, and usenet is still one of the least known part of the Internet. All the best for your blog !

Nice work Giganews! Interested in seeing what you'll be posting here...
said...

keep the retention and great download speeds coming!
said...
Great GigaNews. Super service!!!
said...
Good stuff. Maybe we'll do something like this on our site if it works out well.
said...
I'd love to see a photo tour of the hardware giganews uses.
said...
Great news. Can't wait to hear some of the inner-workings of giganews.

Yes - or a factsheet of what youre using :) how much, etc
said...
I hope to see some inter-office hyjinks...perhaps a line up called, "The Ladies of Newsbin" or "Employee car of the Week". I'd like to see GN instead of a lot of text.
said...
I agree, your service and your customer service rock.
I 2nd the photo tour idea!
said...

said...
Damn good service - Keep up the good work.
I'm curious does Gignews publish how large their current file storage system is?
said...
Keep up the good work guys- I lurve my Giganews!
BF said...
Nice move Giganews. I would also like to see a users forum, where we all could share ideas about how to improve our Usenet experience and our experiences with the latest utilities and apps. Giganews rocks! Keep it up!!
said...
Cool, am i 23rd?
said...
Love your service and your retention. Keep up the good work.
Great Day

1 year subscriber and I wouldnt change hosts for the world! YOU GUYS ARE THE FREAKING BEST!!!!!! If you are a potential customer, you wont go wrong with these guys or *I* will give you your money back! lol!
said...
Awesome.... Giganews ROCKS!
said...
Congratulations Giganews! I admire companies that are willing to run company blogs. It shows you guys care about your customers and are willing to interact with them in as many ways as possible.
Way to go!
said...
Just another feature added to a service that I didn't think could get any better. Keep up the great work guys.
said...
Good idea: blogger.com = easy blog for every one with multi lingual interface :-)
Thanks for the quality of your service. I'm a very satisfied subscriber for a couple of years now. While the great reliability of your server was always close to 100%, the retention though a bit short in the beginning (+- 15d in binaries) is really ok now.
Thank you and continue the good job !
said...
don't tell people about usenet dammit!
said...
Sweet, Giganews keeps on growing!
First usenet company that tries to reach the community and its users? :)
said...
Mark another hardware viewing request. I can't imagine what your server farm looks like with the retention you guys are sporting.
Here's a quick question: to have the kind of retention you do, how many gigs of storage space does that require?
said...
Wow, in at the start of history. Now thats really something
Aaron said...
god bless giganews.
said...
Great to see you joinging the blogging community, I have already added it to my bloglines.
said...
Your servers have far out performed any of the rivals that I've tried! Keep up the great work, it'll certainly be interesting to hear some tales from your net admins, security guys, etc.. :)
said...
This service is simply amazing, and is a steal at $25 a month. Thank you !!

I guess I'm number 60.. this is cool.. can't wait to see what you have to say in the future.. Keep up the good work!
BuBu said...
I guess the good folks at Giganews realize what the word 'Unlimited' means.
With all the retention, I think they have a Master Plan, er, hidden agenda, to become the Inter-galactic Archivist's!
Having nothing to complain about the service, I'll make a wish for faster header retrieval.

Reply for Stouty about ISPs and bandwidth -- my ISP (Rogers.com in Canada) limits downloads to 75 GB per month.. more than I ever use or need.
They also offer a service for users to log on and check what the current month's usage is at.. it helps heavy users manage their downloads.
said...
Your service ranks second to none---tried others but always come back to the best---thanks!!!
said...
Yea keep up the good work, you guys rock, and think you guys will give us a behind the scences look at what kind of hardware you guys are running, im sure most of us geeks would love to see what you need to host usenet at 1mb/s plus speeds.
said...
Does anyone have a phone number or address to contact Giganews?
Giganews said...
Giganews only provides email based support. You can reach Giganews' support team by emailing support - at - giganews.com
said...
Good stuff. Maybe we'll do something like this on our site if it works out well.

How the hell do I get thes cowboys to answer my emails that I have sent in on the contacts webpage, I still havent had my username and password, it says up to an hour, i have been at work all day and still no pissing username and passeord. I want the damned thing now. I have paid for this service dammit.

@wizard401
Our support department is very quick at answering emails. It could be that your spam filter has filtered emails from Giganews. Check your spam folder and make sure to add giganews.com to the list of approved domains.
If you're using a Microsoft based email like MSN, live.com, or hotmail please use a different email address to communicate with Giganews.
Microsoft has massive problems delivering emails and Microsoft based emails are no longer supported by Giganews.
Hope this helps.
