Review Of Onlynews
The OnlyNews is definitely provider from USA. You can tell that the minute you enter their website since there is a large USA flag waving in the banner. They offer unrestricted, uncensored and anonymous access to all the pictures, images, movies and more available on the usenet network. There are no speed caps and no upload limits.
Server information
There is only one server available, the farm is located in USA and the address of the server is news.onlynews.com. The ports available are standard 119 and optional 7501.
Retention and completion
Unfortunately, there is no information about either of these, not only on their website, but on the other usenet reviews websites as well.
Pricing
The user can choose between paying through the credit card or through money order. The packages are the same in both cases, but the money order option is slightly less expensive, usually being cheaper between $0.5 and $1. The pricing plans are as follows:
- 1.5 GB/day – $19.95/monthly – $55.95/quarterly – N/A/semmi-annual
- 750 MB/day – $11.95/ monthly – $31.95/quarterly – $58.95/semmi-annual
- 250 MB/day – $7.95/monthly – $21.95/quarterly – $39.95/semmi-annual
Newsgroups
They claim that their servers carry all the available newsgroups, but that they will add a group if it doesn’t exist on their server for some reason and if the user requests so.
Misc
If the user reaches download limit, the account will be deactivated until the next day and the user will get the error message stating that the password is not accepted. In other words, the account will not be automatically upgraded. Further, on the website, it is nice to see the listing of newsreader clients with short description and screenshots. Naturally, the links are available as well. Both commercial and free newsreader clients are listed.
Recommendation
We don’t like 3 facts about this provider. First of all, there is no information about retention and completion. Secondly, they didn’t update the website for the last couple of years. Finally, the prices are far from being competitive.
