Extreme Usenet provides quality service that includes a good amount of retention, use of their European servers, access to 150,000 groups and free SSL encryption. Enjoy unlimited downloading with speeds up to 200 Mbit/s.

Pricing

Extreme Usenet has two plan options that are differentiated by how many hours users can access Usenet. All subscriptions are non-recurring, so users have the option to renew or not when plans expire.

Their 24/7 access plans differ in speed and number connections and can be availed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

Extreme Usenet also offers discount packages which allow Usenet access for only 12 hours a day. There are three time options for this package: 0:00 to 12:00, 2:00 to 14:00, or 4:00 to 16:00 with GMT+1 time zone. With this plan, you also get the same features others get from 24/7 access like SSL encryption and the full 1500+ days of retention.
