Having recently signed up to Giganews migration from Newsfeeds, who
for what they provide are simply too expensive), I can vouch for
Giganews 100% so far.

A server that lets you download but only count for 50% of what you
downloaded (against your monthly allowance), seemingly unlimited
number of simultaneous connections, impossible to max out the
connection (I've tried upto and including an 8MB ADSL connection and I
was still hitting my ADSL limitation before any limitation at
Giganews), and 6gb a month for about £5 - Bargain !

Tracerote is a little on the long side, but then 90% is made of hops
all around the country thanks to BTO (my packets are well travelled),
but doesnt make much difference at the end of the day.

Giganews have a few servers now (not sure if they did back in days of
old), positioned as east, west and central US.
