Worst support ever Worst support ever, they dont reply to ticket requests. I tried to pay my subscription today the 12th and their website wouldnt allow payment, for the last 2 days there has been the same error screen when trying to prolong my account. I would recommend someone like Supernews if you want a usenet account, they at least have a tech support who try and help out

Great services I'm using their free account as a back for my last hope when I cannot use my other accounts to find contents. Surprisingly XS did a great job to help my find missing contents. Highly recommend them not matter you need a free backup or a main unlimited account.

Free tiers are usually rubbish Digging the service. Most services' free tiers are so restrictive that it's not worth bothering but XS deliver. They're not spammy, and they keep to their word. Keep it up!

Paid for a full year Paid for a full year. After confimation I couldn't upgrade to the full year connection. Send a mail, placed a ticket but no reaction from the "excellent" team. What kind of organisation is this! Crooks. Not worth a penny.

Kudos to XSusenet I sincerely applaud XSusenet primarily because of consequently offering free usenet subscriptions for the public! Most interested people do not need power user access at full connection speed loading some years obsolete stuff. The currently new assets that are available for free are the right way to go. And regular accounts of XSusenet are quite good too - e.g. reasonable access time and speed for occasional piracy at very moderate price. I do not understand why anybody asks for gigabit speeds and at least 5 years retention - these are least important features for usual users. My suggestion: Combine free access to the new assets with cheap paid service or Black Friday block for the older stuff and you are well served paying just peanuts - one year downloading all you want costs no more than single menu at the restaurant.
