Speed Test

Bintube Speed Test

BinTube performs well in terms of speed. They do not cap your download speed, so you will only be limited by how fast your internet service provider is.

Privacy

SSL encryption is included in BinTube’s plan, making it a secure Usenet provider for its subscribers.

BinTube does not share or sell any user information with third parties and they do not log Usenet related activities including search, downloads or posts. Some payment information may be shared with payment processors to process subscriber payments. Personal information of a user may only be shared if required by State or Federal laws.

Customer Service

A contact form is available on BinTube’s website. Their support page also answers various questions that users may need help with. You may also submit a support request through their community page or submit personal feedback on their feedback forum.

Any other contact information like a specific email address, office details or telephone number is not supplied.

Additional Products

BinTube has their own Usenet reader that comes free with the Usenet access plan. You can easily download and stream all kinds of Usenet content including video, audio and images. Their newsreader also comes in a paid pro version that basically includes all features of their BinTube Ultimate newsreader except for progressive streaming, which limits the download speed to the bandwidth necessary for the stream. The pro version can be availed for $59.99 and requires a BinTube Usenet membership.

The BinTube plan also comes with a free BinTube Accelerator which works with any Usenet newsreader and provides up to 10x faster download speeds.

Summary

BinTube’s major selling point is their free Usenet newsreader that comes with their plan. This is a significant addition to their already decent features of uncensored, unlimited, fast and secure Usenet access. Their BinTube Accelerator is also one impressive feature that may convince users to go for their service. While they may not be the best there is in terms of their price plans, BinTube still fairs pretty well in providing quality service to their subscribers.
