Giganews, a well know and respected Usenet provider, which has been providing Usenet service since 1994 made some major changes to their Usenet services plans recently. They dropped their monthly limit plans and just offer their Diamond plan now. You can get a year of service for $12.50/month if you prepay. The new pricing structure is as follows.
12 Months Prepaid Subscription – $12.50/month which equals $150/year
6 Months Prepaid Subscription – $14.99/month which is $179.88/year
1 Month Subscription – $17.99/month
These prices are obviously still high as there are other service providers like Fast Usenet which offer Unlimited access for only $6.95/month. Fast Usenet is also currently offering A promotional offer for $4.95/month too. But it’s nice to see Giganews lower their prices and I’m sure they’ll pull in some new users that like to use their prestigious service.
