I don't think we are cheap, but we have an incredible usenet news
service.

We partner with Easynews - to offer news service to our dialup/dsl
customers as part of their access price... :-) You can use your own
nntp client, or can use our shell servers for tin/trn etc.

Easynews and giganews are always one upping each other on their data
retention rate - though Easynews is usually ahead.

We're talking about months of retention time on all (yes even those)
newsgroups. 100+ Terabytes of storage.

Best of all, both Deru and Easynews are local.
