Binary Boy Usenet offers three server farms which are located in the United States and in Europe. Although they do not offer a secure server on any of their server farms, their completion rate is 97 to 99 percent. Their retention is less than 160 days which is a lot lower than some of the competition that we have featured on our home page. They do have 10 simultaneous connections available but they only offer 84, 500 news groups. The most important thing about selecting a Usenet provider is that they offer your favorite news groups. So, be sure to check which news groups they actually offer before signing on. We really wanted to break down exactly what they offered, so we did!
Retention: Binary Boy Usenet offers a 64 day binary retention and a 160 day text retention. This is considerably lower than some of the competitors that we have listed on the home page but not everyone needs a high retention rate.
Anonymity: They do not currently offer any form of SSL. This is great for those of you who do not think that you need SSL and are looking for a cheaper price plan. This is not so great for those of you who do need SSL but do not want to pay for it.
Pricing: The great thing about Binary Boy Usenet is that they offer a 3-day free trial. With the 3-day free trial, you can download up to 30 Gigabytes! This is great if you are new to Usenet or if you want to ensure that you are investing in the right provider. They only offer metered plans which may not be beneficial for everyone. Some of the pricing plans that we came cross include:
– 75 GB for $17.95 a month
– 30 GB for $9.95 a month
Speed: Binary Boy Usenet has several server farms and up to 10 simultaneous connections. This really allows you to max out your internet connection. The server farms are located in the United States and in Europe. They also offer uncensored and uncapped speed for all price plans.
Features:
– Free 3-day free trial
– E-mail support
– Multiple server farms
The greatest feature that they offer is the 3-day free trial. This is a great way to show exactly what they offer to their new customers. They do not offer any form of live support however.
Recommendation:
I would rather not recommend this Usenet provider to anyone. I would shop around first however. Check out some of the reviews we have featured on our home page. This provider does not offer SSL and their retention is way lower than some of the competitors. Not only that, they only offer metered plans and they only have e-mail support. The thing that I do like about this Usenet provider is that they offer uncensored and uncapped connections. Although they do have a free trial, they should also have live support. Other than that, this Usenet provider is not the worst that we have seen.
