Unison Usenet Service Review

Unison Usenet Service offers a low price alternative for usenet and while their service offers nothing truly exceptional in the way of features, and they bring nothing new to the game in the way they run the service, they have done a very good job to pricing. Good pricing combined with their custom software make them interesting.

Binary Retention

Unison Usenet Service offer 300 days of binary retention, which should be more than adequate for most users. Yes, some providers offer longer retention rates, but why bother? Most postings are refreshed regularly, and 300 days should be just fine.

Pricing

Full unlimited access for a cheap $9 per month, especially considering that you gain access to the custom Unison Usenet Service software, negating the need to purchase a Usenet client. There are also some special offer upgrades to Unison 2 (the newer version of the client software used).

Unison Usenet Service Free Trial

No free trial here I am afraid, but for $9 you get to dip your toes in the water, try out the service and download the free client software, almost as good as a free trial.

Unison Usenet Service Coupons

None at present.

Speed

Unison Usenet Service do not actually post any information regarding their network infrastructure and therefore it is difficult to make an informed comment about their speed and reliability. Additionally, they only allow 8 concurrent connections from each client. Best advice would be to try them for a minimum period. There is nothing which indicates they might be slow, but there is also nothing to indicate they might be fast either!

Security/Anonymity

Like most modern Usenet providers, Unison Usenet Service offer free SSL connections.

Other Nice Features

The best feature simply has to be the exceptional custom client software, which makes browsing multi-part posts a breeze.
