anarQy has two servers to choose from. For this review I used news.anarqy.com.
Binary completion came in at a respectable 91%. However retention was where anarQy lost the most points in this review with their retention set at five days for all groups including text groups.
Speeds were excellent and averaged over 1Mb per second. Not many usenet providers reach these kinds of speeds. The overall score is 86%, losing 10% simply for retention being low. If you stay current with your newsgroups this is an excellent server to use.
