It's more than just retention. Giganews has the largest collection of groups that I've ever encountered and they are the fastest by far. They also have decent customer service and an easy cancellation policy.
I only hit the groups a few times a year nowadays so I've taken to subscribing to Giganews for a month or two at a time and then canceling. They make it very easy.
