Beware if you have a problem The usenet service is fine. The VPN has also been fine, But beware! I tried to renew the VPN on 24 September and paid by credit card. they took my money but did not change the account expiry date. I left numerous messages and raised tickets to try and sort this out but XS Usenet did not reply.

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 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.

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.
