Our Opinion

EasyUsenet is an appealing choice especially for users who are looking for a variety of Usenet access plans. This Usenet service provider offers both flatrate and block access plans which shows that they cater to different types of users. And while their retention rate is not at the same level as that of the best Usenet service providers, it is decent enough if you’re not looking for really old files. All in all, EasyUsenet is a reliable option, however, there are still aspects of their service and features that they can improve on.
