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.

Happy to use XSUSENET I use XSusenet to access the usenet. Because those accesses are infrequent, I have taken advantage of their free service. My accesses have been reliable and trouble free. On the rare occasions I have needed to contact them, I have found their customer service both prompt and helpful. You can't ask more than that. I'm glad I found XSusenet and am eager to recommend them to my friends.

Paid for a 3 month subscription and… Paid for a 3 month subscription and it's expired after a month, I've tried contacting them no reply so I have openedna PayPal dispute.

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.

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.
