Easynews is heralded as one of the easiest Usenet providers and newsreaders today. And their popularity can attest to that fact. Recently they formed a partnership with Newshosting, another very popular Usenet provider, to form a marriage that many of their customers have enjoyed immensely. Here is a rundown of the details on Easynews.

-
Corporate Structure – U.S. based, though they have servers in the U.S. and Europe.
-

EasyNews Stats
Easynews has one of the best newsreaders available for Usenet browsing. The newsreader has thumbnail viewing, making it easier than most to determine of the download is the one you really need.
The download speeds will depend in part on your proximity to the server, but with server farms in both the U.S. and Europe, then your speeds should be pretty good, as is ours.
As Easynews is one of the top Usenet providers, we selected a couple of the best and most popular Usenet providers for this head to head comparison, Giganews, and UsenetServer.
EasyNews Vs. Giganews
Giganews is the most popular and largest Usenet provider. Here's how Easynews stands up to this competition.
Binary Retention
-
EasyNews – 1.130 days of retention, plus 200+ days of web based retention.
-
Giganews - 1,224 days of retention.
Message Completion
-
EasyNews – 98%+ completion rate.
-
Giganews - Advertised and guaranteed 100% completion rate averages.
Usenet Downloading Speeds
-
EasyNews – With server farms located in so many places, download speeds are only limited by your connection.
-
Giganews – As fast as your connection will allow.
Service Prices
-
EasyNews – Their Big Gig account, (the biggest they have,) costs $29.94 p/month.
-
Giganews – Diamond accounts (the best they have) go for $34.99 monthly.
Versus Conclusion – If completion rate is a large factor in your decision, then Giganews will almost always win out. But, if you are new to Usenet, then Easynews will be your best bet. Having a lower cost, and web browsing helps new users until they get the hang of Usenet.
EasyNews Vs. UsenetServer
UsenetServer is also one of the top of the pile Usenet providers. They have a lot to offer, and the same 14 day/10 GB limited free trial, so we will compare these two services.

-
UsenetServer – Proximity counts, and UsenetServer has locations in the U.S. and Europe.

-
UsenetServer - The High Speed Plus plan, (their largest account,) will cost $15.98 monthly.
Versus Conclusion – Easynews and UsenetServer run a pretty close conpetition, but I believe that newbies will enjoy Easynews more for their ease of use. In spite of this though, I do recommend that you try both providers' free trials to determine which is easier.
