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.

Great customer support Renewals are easy, timely reminders ensure continuous service. Retention is fair with good value for price.

Avoid at all cost I would strongly advise against using XS Usenet's services. I have been using them without issue for a few years, but since they released a new client portal, I've failed to renew my subscription so it expired. So I tried terminating the old subscription and getting a new one about a week ago. My credit card was charged and I received the invoice indicating it was paid, but the account is still pending and I have no login credentials. After a day or so I opened a support ticket, to which I got no reply. A day alter I then replied to that ticket again, in case it got lost. Still no reply. Then I emailed their support and got no reply. Then I tried to phone them, but their number is not in service. According to their website, they hired a new customer satisfaction team about a month ago, but from all perceivable evidence, they just don't exist anymore. I guess they just kept the billing systems in place to leech some money off of unsuspecting potential customers, but everything else seems to be shut down.

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

No support. Was using the free account, but then somehow my account got closed. Submitted a ticket, no reply since 2 weeks. Then I tried the contact form, also no reply for a week. Looks like i'm not going to get any reply from them. Also the SSL certificate for the "My account" section of the site was expired for at least two weeks. I mentioned this to them on the second day, also no reply.
