Frugal Usenet is a Usenet provider that we came across and decided to review. We noticed that they are right down to the point. They offer 2 price plans, SSL and 85,000 newsgroups. They only offer a 600 day text and binary retention so if you are looking for a higher retention, I would try out some of the competitors that we have listed on our home page. They do offer two server farms and up to 50 connections so you should have no issue maxing out your Internet connection. We dug deeper to show you a sum of everything they offer their customers.

Retention: Frugal Usenet currently offers a 600 day text retention and a 600 day binary retention for their customers. This is lower than some of the other Usenet providers that we have featured on our home page but it is not the lowest that we have seen.

Anonymity: They currently offer free SSL at a 256- Bit encryption for 2 of their available ports. The SSL does come with every account free of charge. This is a great feature if your internet service provider limits Usenet access during peak hours.

Pricing: They currently only offer two plan types: Unlimited with a monthly rate or unlimited with a yearly rate. Both plan types offer a 600 day retention, free SSL and 20 available simultaneous connections. The plan types available are as follows:

– $4.99 a month or

– $50 a year for unlimited

Speed: They have 20 available simultaneous connections and 2 server farms which are located within the US and in Europe. Only two of the ports offer SSL so if your Internet Service provider limits your Usenet access during peek-hours, this Usenet provider may not be for you. If so, you may want to check out some of the competition we have featured on our home page. You should have no problem maxing out your internet connection other wise.

Features:

Some of the other features that Frugal Usenet provides are as follows:

– FAQ support

Recommendation:

I would recommend Frugal Usenet to those of you who are looking for a easy and simple way to get a fast and secure connection to your favorite newsgroups. Before you sign on with this Usenet provider, you should ensure that they have your favorite newsgroups as they only offer 85,000 newsgroups. If you are looking for more, or if they do not have your favorite newsgroups, try out some of the other Usenet providers that we have listed on our home page. One of the best features they offer is their speed. You can easily max out your internet connection with this provider. As well, they have a 99% completion rate and an uncensored server connection. They do not currently offer a free trial and they only have e-mail support and a FAQ so this provider may not be right for you if you are new to Usenet. If they do not offer what you are looking for, try checking out our home page.
