Frugal Usenet - US$36 Per Year - 2 Main Servers, 1 Bonus Server + 500GB Block Account Per Year

20

$36 USD per year which also includes a 500 GB (instead of the normal 300 GB) Blocknews block account with each payment. What this includes:

Our unlimited, main US and EU servers. These have non-swiss cheese retention of 2,000 days so you can be confident that what you attempt to download will be successful and you won’t be hoping for a Christmas miracle that it will complete.

For no extra cost, your access also includes the “Bonus” server, which is access to UsenetFarm and all they have to offer. You have up to 1 TB per calendar month with this server. Starting Jan 1st, Bonus server allotment increases to 1.5 TBs per calendar month for ALL users!

Since this is a yearly account, you also receive a Blocknews block account with this sale. This product includes a 500 GB block account (instead of usual 300) each year. For those few times when you just need deep retention (4485+ days), this will come in handy.

    Been using these guys for about 2 years now. Great speeds, long retention and a great price. I did away with my astraweb block account when I moved to these guys, I don't need it as I get reliable completion with the provided servers.
    In my experience, a great service that is hard to beat.

    Make sure you check the Usenet provider map just in case you already use similar backbone provider (eg, don't buy this if you already have newsdemon)

    • Newsdemon is no longer on this backbone, they migrated away at the beginning of December.

        That's just an example :)

        Consider you're associated, which other resellers using the same backbone with frugal usenet at the moment?

    Can existing users take up this offer?

    • Of course. Make sure you cancel any existing subscription and then while logged in to the website, visit this sale link and add this purchase to your account.

  • $36 for 500GB is expensive. Just buy a block account. They don't expire.

    I got a lifetime $3 USD a month deal on Astraweb during black friday, with unlimited. Same price as you, but they have 4000 days of retention, and unlimited downloads.

    • as mentioned this is not just a block account. the block is but one part of the overall deal.

      • what use is a block account if you already have an unlimited account

    "$36 for 500GB is expensive. Just buy a block account. They don't expire"

    Their main servers are unlimited, they have two additional servers that you get as part of the subscription

    1) 500 GB per payment cycle with blocknews
    2) 1 TB per month with Usenet Farm

    Lots of different backbones to nail completion.

    • what is the difference between the servers? Are the block accounts on competitors backbones?

    I think block news is on the same backbone, but with longer retention, so useful for older posts. Usenet Farm on a completely different backbone.
