Review Of Newsgroup Binaries
Newsgroup Binaries is usenet provider, claiming to offer the best and reliable service. They can also be found under the Newsgroup-access name. One of their characteristic is that they support probably all the newsreader programs currently available. The subscriber has granted access, regardless of whether he or she is using dial-up, DSL, or cable internet access.
Server information
The server is available on news.newsgroup-binaries.com address and this server supports between 4 and 8 simultaneous connections. There is no information about available ports, but we can be rather sure that standard port 119 is in use. The SSL encryption is not available.
Retention and completion
They say that their retention and completion rates are more than competitive. Few years ago, that would be true but today, we can’t say that 200 days of retention (both for single and multi-part binaries) is competitive today. Rather, it is only an average rate. The completion rate is over 99%.
Pricing
They are offering 4 metered options and one unlimited option. The prices are as follows:
- 5 GB/month, 8 streams: $2.50/mo.
- 15 GB/month, 8 streams: $5/mo.
- 30 GB/month, 8 streams: $10/mo.
- 45 GB/month, 8 streams: $12/mo.
- unlimited usage – no daily or monthly limits, 4 streams: $15
Speed
Their server benefits from utilizing redundant OC-12 connections to multiple Internet backbones. This ensures that usenet articles and files the user has requested are delivered as fast as the user’s Internet connection allows (no speed cap).
Newsgroups list
The list of newsgroups their servers carries is updated daily. The subscriber benefits due to this since empty, spam and redundant groups are removed automatically.
Recommendation
The retention rate is certainly not one of the best in the industry; rather, it is only average. Regarding the pricing, we think that unlimited option is the best for the end-user since it has decent price and is just little bit more expensive in comparison with metered options.
