Review Of Cheapnews
Hard to find almost elsewhere, the Cheapnews have one of the best website designs among usenet providers. They are rather new company that had started their business in 2009, offering great quality access to the usenet platform. They offer block and flat fee accounts.
The main difference is that the block accounts are rather handy for the users that occasionally download larger files. Further, there is no time limit on block accounts. In other words, there is no defined period in which the block account user should consume the whole package.
The user can easily view current account usage and the remaining traffic. The flat fee account, on the other hand, is for the users who download „till they drop“. Let’s also mention that there is free trial account available. Anyone can try their service in a period of 7 days (or once the 10GB limit is consumed). Finally, they offer uncensored newsgroup access to 108,000 newsgroups.
Network
They have very reliable and fast network that is directly connected to the main Internet hubs such as AMS-IX, NL-IX and GN-IX.
Servers
Two servers are available, according the account type :
- block and trial accounts – block.cheapnews.eu
- flat rate accounts – news.cheapnews.eu
The server farm is located in Europe, having 119 and 583 standard ports and 443 secure port. The SSL Encryption is free 256-bit SSL.
Payments
Online payments are available and after only 5 minutes, the user will get access to his or her usenet account.
Retention and completion
The retention is more than 350 days, both for the binary and text groups, currently growing to 400 days. The completion rate is over 99%.
Pricing
As we have already mentioned, they have block and flat fee pricing plans. Besides the free account, the following pricing options are available:
Block (offering 12 Connections) pricing plans are:
- 25 GB (small) – €8,95
- 100 GB (medium) – €29,95
- 500 GB (large) – €89,95
Flat fee pricing plans:
- 5 MBit (basic) – €3,50 – € 4,50 (4 Connections)
- 20 MBit (premium) – €5,50 – € 6,50 (8 Connections)

Recommendation
The Netherlands based company offers very decent price although we have seen better retention times for equal or better price.
