I used the free version I used the free version. It's slow offcourse 2 Mb's. The files become larger and larger. I suggest increase the speed of the free version

Free tiers are usually rubbish Digging the service. Most services' free tiers are so restrictive that it's not worth bothering but XS deliver. They're not spammy, and they keep to their word. Keep it up!

Support is abysmal I have had this service for months, even years. I continually receive authentication errors from my newsreader (never happened with any other usenet service provider I have used). I tried to get support to resolve, but they are totally useless. After many messages, they always resort to 'create a new account.' The error was mainly a nuisance error...that is, if I ignored it downloads would still happen, but about every few months I am unable to download anything. And every time support has no clue or no ability to help.

Happy to use XSUSENET I use XSusenet to access the usenet. Because those accesses are infrequent, I have taken advantage of their free service. My accesses have been reliable and trouble free. On the rare occasions I have needed to contact them, I have found their customer service both prompt and helpful. You can't ask more than that. I'm glad I found XSusenet and am eager to recommend them to my friends.

Kudos to XSusenet I sincerely applaud XSusenet primarily because of consequently offering free usenet subscriptions for the public! Most interested people do not need power user access at full connection speed loading some years obsolete stuff. The currently new assets that are available for free are the right way to go. And regular accounts of XSusenet are quite good too - e.g. reasonable access time and speed for occasional piracy at very moderate price. I do not understand why anybody asks for gigabit speeds and at least 5 years retention - these are least important features for usual users. My suggestion: Combine free access to the new assets with cheap paid service or Black Friday block for the older stuff and you are well served paying just peanuts - one year downloading all you want costs no more than single menu at the restaurant.
