Bintube Review

BinTube proudly proclaim that they are taking USENET to the next level. That is quite some boast, considering they are pitching themselves against some very strong competition in the form of the established players such as Giganews and Newshosting.

So why are they making this claim? Just what is so special about the BinTube service?

Well the BinTube recipe seems to be simple enough, but like many simple things, it is also elegant. They provide top rated news servers, a free, advanced USENET client, and a USENET (Just like NewzBin) search capability all in one package.

Binary Retention

BinTube offers an incredible 575 days of retention, that’s almost a year and a half, and one of the longest retention rates out there. Most people should find this more than enough.

BinTube Pricing

BinTube offers a single price plan only. $10.99 per month for fully unlimited access to both the USA and Europe based servers, and this includes the free custom client and USENET search system.

BinTube Free Trial

Unfortunately there is no free trial of the actual news hosting service. There is however a free trial of the pro version of their USENET client.

BinTube Coupons

None at presenet.

BinTube Speed

BinTube should be veryfast, and they do offer both USA and Europe based servers, meaning you get to choose the servers most local to you. Their network is multi-tiered and fully redundant, offering maximum bandwidth allocation at all times across a maximum, of 20 connections.

Security/Anonymity

Just like most decent USENET providers these days, full SSL is available for free with every account.

Other Nice Features

The combined USENET client and USENET search works well. While historically its been ideal to incorporate search into the Usenet client itself, many combined Usenet services either fail in the their search or in the ease of use of their Usenet client.

Bintube, however, has both an excellent newsreader client and solid search capabilities. Without a doubt, their coolest feature is that with the Bintube client one is able to stream video content whilst downloading, this is definitely worth checking out.

Conclusion

BinTube seems to have hit the nail on the head when it comes to providing just what the market needs. A single, unified solution, at a good value price.

Bintube Recommendation

Subscribe for a month, if it works well for you it’s a bargain, the included free software and USENET search make this a very keenly priced and attractive product. Be sure to check out our top Usenet provider list also.
