Excellent Usenet service. Switched over last year because it came with a newsreader and search. Works well and in terms of the Usenet access, the retention and speed is excellent. Support was also gre... See more

Exceptional Service and not a single problem in almost a year
I´ve using this service for almost a year and I´ve never experienced any downtime, poor speed or any other problem. I have used the service with 1 and 10 Gbits connections and I was getting a speed always around 400-500 MB (limited by the hard drives with the 10GB lines) and 100-120 MB (limited by 1 GB lines).
I can also say the peering is incredible, during this year, I have downloaded from a dedicated server in Finland (10GB), from a server in Germany (another 10 GB), sometimes from home (domestic 1GBit line in Spain) and now with a dedictaed server in Netherlands (1GBit)
Every single time and from any location, the speed was the maximum speed I could get with the computer/connection I was using.

Worst ever
Worst ever. I've had it 1 day and regret already. They charge you annually but say it's monthly. There is no refund. The service doesn't work properly either almost nothing downloads due to missing news, I wish I could cancel and go back to Eweka. What it does download is fast, that's about the only thing going for it.
