BuzzarNews has been around for about 8 years  and offers a wide array of plans to fit simple to more complex budgets. Plans start at $6.95 - $17.95 for monthly plans that are capped between 1.5 GB - 75 GB.  They also have one time, auto renew and unlimited plans to choose from as well, all at 90 days for binary retention and 160 days on text, all with 8 simultaneous connecitons.

Features
Pre-pay one time purchases for set download amounts (50GB - 100GB) which are good till cancelled. $14.95 for an unlimited monthly downloads and an array of others that start from $6.95 -$17.95. The 90 day binary retention and email support.



Support
Support is only available through email with tested response times of about 24-48 hours. The knowledgebase is decent, but still lacks a lot of information needed for a novice user, but enough for a seasoned Usenet user.



Conclusion
Based out of California, BuzzardNews has a decent service that is exclusive to the US. Support lacks on more information to users comparative to the industry. 90 day retention is good, but keeps it from achieving the higher recognition for such a long standing reliable company. BuzzardNews is good to try out, and they offer a trial that\\\'s worth taking a look at.
