Comparison based on typical published pricing and features of commercial Usenet providers.
Our Unlimited plan is $6.95 per month, often $3–$8 less than comparable unlimited plans elsewhere. Over a year that can add up to $100 in savings for the same access. And no teaser rates: the price you sign up at is the price you keep.
No. Fast Usenet runs on a network built for gigabit speeds, with servers in the US and Europe, 6,637+ days of binary retention that grows daily, and 50 SSL-encrypted connections on every plan. We keep prices low by not bundling extras you may never use.
Retention varies across providers; some offer as little as 4,000 days. Ours currently stands at over 6,637 days and grows every single day, so the archive keeps getting deeper.
Some providers include a VPN to justify a higher price. Every Fast Usenet plan already includes 256-bit SSL encryption, which protects your Usenet sessions in transit. If you want a VPN for other uses, you're free to choose any. We just don't make you pay for one to get a fair Usenet price.
Yes, with the 14-day / 15 GB free trial. Keep your existing service while you test ours side by side. If we don't win the comparison, cancel online in one click and pay nothing.
No. Sign up, then point your newsreader at our server addresses, or use our pre-configured GrabIt edition with built-in search. Your NZB files and favorite newsreader work exactly the same; only the server address changes.
