What is Giganews ?

Looks quite good to me, very low number of hops and a nice ping (with the exception of "amst-ic-1.inet.ntl.com (195.69.144.40)" - odd why there was a couple of dropped packets there).

Giganews is a premium newsgroup provider that carries text and binary articles with retention periods of ~1339 days of text and ~100 days binaries.
