Review Of Megabitz
If there is something that we don’t like, that is when some company (especially the company offering some type of Internet services) doesn’t update the website regularly. Although, there really sometimes aren’t any news, we can hardly find excuses when they usenet do not update the website in a period of more than two years. This is exactly the case with the Megabitz, so, although they have provided a decent amount of information about their services, you cannot stop questioning yourself whether this information is still correct or it is outdated. Nevertheless, we will examine the information about the Megabitz usenet provider according the information on their website, but, the reader of this article should be careful, especially while talking about retention times, because the last time they updated the website was in the year of 2008.
Servers
There are two servers available, one of them offering the 256-bit SSL encryption and the other not. The addresses and ports are:
- news.megabitz.net, available on port 119
- secure.megabitz.net, available on port 563
If the default ports are not available for some reason, the ports 1024-3999, 20, 23, 80, 110, 120 and 443 are available as well.
Retention and completion
The retention for the binaries is 562.4 days and four the text groups, it equals 400.6 days. The completion is a rather exact 99.48%.
Pricing
Two options are available: block and unlimited accounts. The (monthly) pricing for block accounts is $2.49, $8.95 and $23.95 for the 5, 25 and 100 GB blocks. The pricing for the unlimited accounts is as follows:
- unlimited, 15 connections – $23.95/mo.
- unlimited, 5 connections – $13.95/mo.
- unlimited, 2 256k connections – $4.95/mo.
Support
They offer 3 options:
- e-mail support: support@megabitz.net
- online support form
- phone support available on the 888-507-4708
Privacy
They take the user’s privacy very seriously and the personal information of the user will remain private.
Recommendation
Megabitz appears to offer a decent level of service, however, their price/performance at aproximately $25 is not competitive with other providers.
