Opinion

StingyUsenet hasn’t been around that long in the Usenet industry, but they provide an exemplary service for the price they offer. Although their days of retention could be better when you compare it to other Usenet service providers, you’re still getting a great deal with their unlimited speed, connections that are more than what most people need and a secure system via SSL.

And while other Usenet service providers have differentiated packages across their multiple plans, StingyUsenet offers a one package service across all their plans which makes deciding which to avail a lot easier - no fuss in comparing what is included in each plan. The only thing you need to think about is if the price is right for you.
