Onlynews was a treat to use, with excellent speed, completion and retention. Speeds were staying between 800 and 850Kbps. Retention was good, two weeks for text groups, six days for high volume binary groups and more than two weeks for single part binary groups.
Completion in singlepart binary groups was perfect, completion in multipart binary groups was 96%. Overall a strong competitor. Onlynews lost a few points for retention and completion.
