Hello all you cool cats and kittens, who doesn't like a Usenet deal that celebrates a Dutch King? The European Usenet provider Eweka is running a special on their 12-month unlimited highspeed plan. The normal price is €9,60/mo ($16.24 AUD) so you are saving 69% and it is a lifetime discount that renews every 12-months. This plan comes with 20 connections, 4,266+ days retention, and best of all Eweka is on a unique European backbone which means it is great for finding content.

I had an expired Eweka account and haven't used the service for a few years but they sent me an email with this offer and I'm going to try it out. Stay safe and long live Usenet.

    What is this service even…?

    • indingnation on 24/04/2020 - 07:11

      It is a Usenet provider, can never say too much about Usenet but I would suggest doing the google search "what is usenet"

      • The Milk Man on 24/04/2020 - 07:14

        So , off-grid-type social platform.
        interesante.

        • SBOB on 24/04/2020 - 07:16

          Ah..yeah..not really.

          Most use Usenet these days for the binaries rather than the text posts.

          • The Milk Man on 24/04/2020 - 07:17

            @SBOB: This makes me feel very old - despite being young :(

            Is this a popular thing im missing on or just a niche 'market' thing?

              @The Milk Man: Usenet existed well before the web did. Think of it as a globally distributed message board. As files can also be encoded in text messages, its use has transitioned from a distribution network of messages to one of "Linux isos"

            @SBOB: If you want to find the best surfing locations of 2008 the text posts come in handy

            • SBOB on 24/04/2020 - 08:14

              @indingnation: I still occasionally see old posts I made in text chats on technical and home theater groups whenever I get bored enough to google my own name (whenever I sanity check that my online profile is still minimal enough to not be embarrassing ;) )

              • jnewau on 24/04/2020 - 09:04

                @SBOB: I found some of my posts from my uni days in the early 90s, I thought usenet was pretty amazing back then. Terry Pratchett used to be quite active on alt.fan.pratchett and I thought it was pretty mind blowing you could have conversations with him.Likewise heaps of Commodore employees would post in the Amiga groups

                Before the days of Twitter, even the World Wide Web, it was the first glimpse of the way communications were heading.

          If reddit and P2P had a baby it would be called Usenet

    About $61 for those playing at home

    • indingnation on 24/04/2020 - 07:12

      Good call, I updated the post with the local price

  • gasman70 on 24/04/2020 - 08:41

    I haven’t paid for downloads for years….apart from a Real-Debrid account.

      I haven't paid for internet in years… apart from my ISP bills

      :/

      • gasman70 on 24/04/2020 - 11:26

        The real-debrid account is optional. I can still download, albeit at slower speeds.

        Yes, yes, I suppose you could sit outside Maccas or wherever, and use the free wifi.

  • ficklelife on 24/04/2020 - 09:08

    Looks like 500 Internal Error when trying to pay….

    • episys on 24/04/2020 - 15:55

      I was getting this error as well, turns out it was because I already had an active subscription.
      Cancelled the auto-renewal on PayPal first and then tried again (this time I used CC directly because PayPal's own conversion rates makes it about $5 or so more expensive).

  • YeboMate on 24/04/2020 - 09:54

    With this deal, does this mean after the 12 months the price is still €35.88 to renew or does it go back to the original price?

    Edit: Nevermind, found the answer. After I bought the 12 months with PayPal I was sent an email saying 12 months subscription and the amount to be taken every 12 months is €35.88. Awesome.

  • darrellkan on 24/04/2020 - 10:02

    Thanks OP, been waiting for a deal like this!

  • Ruprect on 24/04/2020 - 10:46

    Whilst this is a good deal, for those looking around Newsgroupdirect have a 'usenet deals' page where they price match other providers. Always good to keep an eye on as they sometimes have some very good prices.

    • gasman70 on 24/04/2020 - 11:27

      Better than this one?

    • SBOB on 24/04/2020 - 11:51

      Eweka would be a more solid backbone choice if you were trying to avoid Highwinds resellers

  • arjay88 on 24/04/2020 - 11:47

    Is this the lowest its been?
