Malchior:
Usenet.com is a
Newsfeeds.com reseller. Check out newsfeeds.com and you'll see the server list is the same.
Going through a reseller is cheaper than signing up directly with Newsfeeds.com, I guess because Newsfeeds.com doesn't need to provide you any technical support. As far as Newsfeeds.com resellers go, some are cheaper than others, like
MegaNet News
Their service is iffy... their servers are not linked, and you'll usually have to hunt through several of them to retrieve all parts of a posted binary message.
On the plus side, they do not appear to limit download speed, and there is a 1GB/day download limit.
That said, my main usenet access is through Telocity (really bad) and my backup is through Newsfeeds.com. Between the two, I can usually get anything that is posted.
