Great free (and paid) Usenet/NNTP service As one of the very few Usenet/NNTP services out there that still offers a free subscription, as well as paid, I can’t give them less than 5 stars. The speed of the free subscription isn’t the greatest, but it’s free and faster than the other free services still left (if you can find them). You only have to renew once a month and you get 25GB to download each month. That’s excellent for free and you really can’t expect more without paying, since it does cost them.

Support is abysmal I have had this service for months, even years. I continually receive authentication errors from my newsreader (never happened with any other usenet service provider I have used). I tried to get support to resolve, but they are totally useless. After many messages, they always resort to 'create a new account.' The error was mainly a nuisance error...that is, if I ignored it downloads would still happen, but about every few months I am unable to download anything. And every time support has no clue or no ability to help.

Free account gets disabled Every so often my free account gets disabled. And that is fine and of course up to xsusenet. What is not fine is that I never get any response as to why the free account gets disabled. Some feedback would show that there is a customer service behind the usenet provider. Their FAQ on this item is of no help as I comply with all the terms and conditions. I am impressed however with their high level of 100% completion for articles.

No longer working. I've used their free service on and off for a few years and it worked well until they changed the system recently. Now the account will not work, the support is not existent and will not get any replies, the knowledge base consists of 2 pages, one gives the server details, which don't work and the other says simply "test". Sadly xsusenet.com has gone from good to completely useless. Time to move on.

I used the free version I used the free version. It's slow offcourse 2 Mb's. The files become larger and larger. I suggest increase the speed of the free version
