I've been with newshosting.com for many years now. Before I've tried astraweb, giganews, and one other (which escape my mind). Astraweb offers the best price. However, I seem to have problem with Astraweb, my speed would be limited to 6-7Mbps even if I maxed out the connections (20). No such problem with newshosting. If there's anything with newshosting is its pricing. You get a decent value by paying one year up front. However, I am willing to trade that off for full download speed. Recently I left newshosting for Astraweb (and its $11 special). Well, I am coming back to Newshosting.
