Whats the best news server people have found ?

My isp is blueyonder but the news server doesn't have a very good retention rate or will only list 31 out of 62 threads for a file.

Can anyone recommend any ?

(I live in the uk and on a 512k cable modem)

Thanks

In my experience

1. Easynews = $10.00 per month for 6gb Download
2. Giganews = $11.95 per month for 6gb Download

Both Newservers have good file retention (30 days) and offer thousands of news groups...

If your looking for a freebie then your own ISP will provide you with one but as you've already experienced the majority of ISP's news servers are Cr@p....
