Review Of Newsfusion
NewsFusion is globally accessible usenet service claiming to offer industry-leading retention, unparalleled speeds and competitive pricing. They offer download blocks that do not expire and offer unlimited upload bandwidth as well. Once the download quota is reached, user can easily extend his or her package simply by logging into the user control panel. As they offer the exact statistics of retention, completion, servers and similar information, we can easily check that currently, there are 107.495 groups available.
Servers
They have datacenters both in Europe and the USA with the following addresses:
- EU: eu.newsfusion.net (ports 119, 443)
- USA: us.newsfusion.net (ports 119, 443)
- SSL (EU): ssl.eu.newsfusion.net (ports 80, 81, 563)
- SSL (USA): ssl.us.newsfusion.net (ports 80, 81, 563)
One server farm is located in the Phoenix, Arizona and other in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Server uptime is near 100% and, as you have already noticed, the SSL (256-bit) is also available. 24 connections are shared among both server farms, but they find that their average customer can saturate the connection with less than five connections.
Retention and completion
They currently offer up to 440 days of binary retention and over 1000 days of text retention. The completion rate is 99.5%.
Pricing
There are 5 options available:
- 90 GB block – $59
- 60 GB block – $45
- 30 GB block – $29
- 10 GB block – $11
- 5 GB block – $6
Let’s also mention that they have custom plan pricing available on request.
Accounts and privacy
They respect user privacy, meaning, they do not log what user accesses. Account sharing is permitted since they offer pay-per-use (block) plans. The instant activation is available; it takes less than 45 seconds to sign up for an account, add a download block and connect to their servers. The accounts are automatically activated through PayPal.
Recommendation
The pricing is not very competitive, although the retention times are very good. Let’s also mention that we like the fact that they offer free unlimited upload.
