Usenet.pro is a Usenet service that provides you with all the necessary requirements for usenet access from SSL encryption, a wide range of choices in terms of speed and connections, unlimited downloads. Not only that, Usenet.pro also allows you to share your account without any data limits.

According to their site, their server parks have ‘triple redundancy’, meaning that all data is available at various locations. On average they have a 99.7% completion rate.

What makes Usenet.pro unique is that they offer 2 main types of subscription: normal and discounted. Their discounted subscription is based on the time of usage.

Binary Retention

There are more than 3000 days of retention on Usenet.pro which ensures users that you will find data present for more than 8 years on their servers.

Pricing

Usenet.pro has 2 main plans: subscription and discounted subscription, both of which can either be paid on a 30, 90, 180 and 365 day basis.

Their regular subscription plans vary depending on the speed and number of connections you select. The speed they offer range from 4 Mbit to 300 Mbit while the number of connections range from 4 to 30.

If you don’t need Usenet access 24/7, you can choose their discounted subscription which gives you access to Usenet.pro servers during non-peak hours which is between 0:00 to 16:00 (Amsterdam timezone).

Free Trial Info

We found no free trial information on the Usenet.pro website. Unfortunately there is no way to test their service out first before actually subscribing to their service.

Special Offers/ Coupons

Currently, there are no special offerings or promotions from Usenet.Pro. That being said, you can take advantage of their discount packages if you wanna use their service during off-peak server hours.

Speed Test

Usenet.pro performs well when it comes to speed. Of course, the speed of your usenet activity depends on the plan you select since their subscription plans vary depending on the speed and connections. And since Usenet also relies on how to fast your internet connection is, make sure to select a plan that fits how fast your own broadband connection is. It is not smart to choose a high-speed plan that is far higher that how fast your net speed is.

Connections

As mentioned, Usenet.pro plans vary depending on the number of connections and speed they offer. For normal subscriptions they offer 4 to 30 connections. Discounted subscriptions, on the other hand, all come with 12 connections.

News Servers/ Ports/ Configuration

Server information will be sent to you once you subscribe to their service. You can connect using ports 80 or 119. If you are using SSL to connect you are able to use ports 443 and 563.

Our Opinion

Usenet.pro seems like a reliable Usenet service provider with decent features from SSL encryption and various speed and connection options. We especially like that they have a discounted subscription offering that allows you to have access during off-peak hours of their servers. This would be ideal for users that do not need Usenet access all the time. However, it would have been better if they had a free trial offering so that users get to test their service out.
