It's been a whie since we did a review of 1usenet and since then they have improved greatly. Multipart binary completion is 96%, single part binary completion is 99%+.
Retention varies in some of the heirarchies. With more than 75 days of text retention and more than 8 days of single part binary retention their server is a good choice for anyone. Multipart binary retention varies between 7 and 25 days.
Overall an excellent choice for a usenet provider. They get an over all score of 81%, losing a few points for multipart binary completion.
