Budget News Review
Last Updated: Feb 18, 2021
Cheap pricing but only offers block accounts.
BudgetNews provides Usenet access, specifically block accounts, at affordable prices. Their packages range from a minimal 15 GB to 10000GB. And since these are block accounts, they are non-expiring plans that also come with unlimited speed, up to 50 connections and a decent retention rate.
Aside from this, BudgetNews plans also includes header compression, free headers and posting, and allows users to share their accounts.
Pricing
BudgetNews has multiple packages that start from € 0,0010 per GB, with plans ranging from 15GB to 10000 GB.
- 15GB – Free
- 500GB - €7,50
- 1000GB - €12,50
- 2000GB - €18,50
- 5000GB - €40,00
- 10000GB - €75,00
Retention
Users can download old posts from up to 2100 days back. That’s more than 4 years of retention.
Free Trial
BudgetNews allows users to experience their service by providing 15GB for free when they sign up, with no obligations.

Speed Test
Like most Usenet providers, BudgetNews performs well in terms of speed. This provider offers unlimited speed included in their block plans. However, please be reminded that while most providers give users uncapped speeds, how fast your Usenet activity will be is also dependent on your own internet connection.

Summary
While BudgetNews may have some pretty decent block accounts and their pricing may be affordable for some users, there are other Usenet providers that offer a bit more variety in terms of their packages. BudgetNews may benefit from also offering paid block accounts lower than 500GB for non-heavy Usenet users. That being said, we are not saying that BudgetNews has bad service. For the simplicity of their plans and the features included in them, BudgetNews can be a decent option for heavy Usenet users as far as block accounts are concerned.
