- Clara.Net are WANK
- Posted by FOC on January 6th, 2005
I'm not sure what their ADSL service is like now, but if Claranews is
anything to go by, I'd recommend you avoid Clara.Net like the plague.
Claranews can be summed up in one word - SHIT.

I don't know about binaries, but retention is very poor in text groups

customers don't include retention.
The website lists the costs of various accounts.

Just over four years ago I was a Claranet customer and whilst expensive it
had a fantastic news server, following my move to another ISP I took out a
sub with Claranews, all was fine for about a year and then it was all
downhill. Many promises not kept etc.
Anyhow, Since those dark days I have been using giganews www.giganews.com
and I have no problem maxing out my 2MB ADSL line when connected to their
european servers. They offer various services levels determined by the
amount of data you will transfer over the course of a month.
Well worth consideration, long retention and high completion rates. The best
I have found.
Andy.

That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."
