The great thing about Cheap News is that they offer a free trial that includes unlimited speed, up to 12 simultaneous connections and 10 Gigabytes. That is something that we do not see every Usenet provider offer and it is a great way too get new customers to try out what they offer. They also do not require you to provide your credit card details for the free trial. They off monthly or block plans and you have to pay for speed. The bigger your price plan, the more speed they allow you to have. We broke the rest down for you.
Retention: Currently Cheap news offers a 600+ day binary (775 days at the date of this news) and text retention. Some of the competitors on the home page offer near 1000 days of retention.
Anonymity: They offer a 256-Bit SSL encryption that is available for free on all price plans. This is great for those of you who are worried about your internet service provider limiting your Usenet connection during peak hours.
Pricing: Cheap News currently offers block or monthly plans. Each plan comes with it’s own available speed and connections available. The more money you are willing to invest with Cheap News, the more speed you are allocated. All of the block plans available have an unlimited speed with 12 simultaneous connections available. You are simply paying for Gigabytes. These plans include 25GB, 100GB or 500GB and they start at only € 8,95. The monthly plans are as follows:
– Basic Plan: 5 Mbit of speed, 4 connections and unlimited Gigabytes
– Premium Account: 20 Mbit of speed, 8 connections and unlimited Gigabytes
– Premium Account: 12 Mbit of speed, unlimited (12) connections and unlimited Gigabytes
As you can see, they offer multiple choices for price plans and they even offer a free trial. Having options and being able to test out the provider before providing any credit card information are both great features to offer.
Speed: Speed comes with your price plan. The more you pay, the more speed you will receive. They currently have one server located in the United States and 12 simultaneous connections available. They also offer SSL which will ensure that your internet service provider will not limit your connection speed during peak hours. They have plans available with un-capped speeds and unlimited connections available starting at € 8,25 a month, which is a good price.
Features:
– 99% Completion rate
– 108, 000 newsgroups available
– 24/7 support via e-mail ticket
– Up to 12 connections and a free trial available
Recommendation:
I would recommend Cheap News to anyone. They offer a free trial that really lets you get a feel of how they operate. They also do not require any credit card information to try it out. As well, they offer a good amount of news groups which is a good feature to have. What is the point of having a Usenet provider that does not have your favorite newsgroups available? Although they do not offer live support, they claim to be online 24/7. If there is no risk, than why not give them a quick try?
