Excellent speed, retention and completion. What else can you ask for in a news server? Speeds of 400+Kbps are always nice to see, especially for binary downloaders. For dialup users it means this server is going to max out your modem.
Retention varied in the binary groups I checked which means they probably set retention based on use. Groups that are used more will have more retention which keeps users happier. Completion was also very good and comes in around 94%.
Their overall score is a very respectable 86%. They lost most point for completion but overall this is an excellent server to use. For the price you almost can't beat it.
MyBinaries also offers low cost oen month trial accounts as well. In some cases the trial price is 50% of the normal price. Post propogation to my local ISP's news server came through complete but it was a bit slow.
