Usenet. The speed, reliability, volume of content. It has been unmatched for me.
The setup is slightly more annoying than torrenting, but also more professional and less sketchy. It is as if torrenting had a real ISP-style customer service experience.
How dare you compare usenet to ISP customer experience? lol
I hate most ISPs for sure. I’m stuck with my local monopoly.
But nonetheless my experience is still: pay $X, get constantly high bandwidth results. That’s all I mean.
Similarly, torrenting is all over the place. But if you pay good Usenet backbone and indexers, you get a similarly reliable product.
Definitely ISPs suck ass at everything besides taking your money and providing internet.
