Conclusion
NewsgroupDirect has a lot of things going for the service. They surpassed all of our benchmarks with flying colors. The 115 days retnetion and the support was the most noted attributes of the service. The caps on most of the plans lean us to recommend the higer priced plan at $19.95, but whatever plan you get, with a free newsreader thrown in makes the service especially enticing. With this site, its safe to say to check often as they run different promotions that can save you even more from what are pretty cheap prices for Usenet. Overall, NewsgroupDirect gets high marks for both service and support.
