Newscene has improved speeds and retention since their last review a year go. With excellent speeds along with excellent completion rates of 97% and eleven days on binary retention there is not much else a user can really ask for.
Text retention could be higher but is still around a respectable three weeks. Posting was quick and painless.
Newscene lost points mainly for retention, however they are still an excellent provider.
