Fast Usenet Review

Fast Usenet is relativly new in the usenet industry, but offers its customers a very good price-performance ratio and some nice bonus features as well.

When it comes to the price, Fast Usenet is one of the cheapest providers around. You can get an unlimited account for under 10 Dollars a month with all the benefits Fast Usenet has to offer.

The backend servers are provided by Readnews, just like at Ngroups, so you can assume that retention, speed and completion are as advertised.

In addition to usenet-access through a newsreader, Fast Usenet offers a web-based interface, allowing you to directly access usenet content with your webbrowser.

The webinterface is not as feature-rich as the one Easynews offers, but for a quick browse it does the job pretty good, and it is inlcuded for free in every account! A special mobile version for your Iphone / Android mobile device is there as well.

Another bonus feature is the free newsreader you're getting with your Fast Usenet account. It is a custom version of the popular GrabIt. GrabIt itself is free software, but you would have to pay for the searchengine it offers ($24.99 a year), and this is included in the custom version you get.

Not too bad, right?

Ok, here is an overview of the "Unlimited" priceplan:

unlimited downloads
unlimited speed
uncensored newsgroups
50 SSL encrypted connections
days retention
99% completion
Usenet Servers in North America & EU
free custom GrabIt newreader

For those, who do not need an unlimited account, Fast Usenet offers 3 additional priceplans.

$5.95

6 GB a month
$2.95

Fast Usenet offers a free-trial with 15GB for 14 days on every new account.

The prices are low, and the performance of the Readnews-Network well known, so for those looking for a bargain usenet-access with some nice extra features, sign up with Fast Usenet!
