I have used for 3 years. Have paid with Paypal one year at a time. Each year when the year is up, the service terminates and I renew.
I regularly get 30-40 meg download speeds, wide selection of information, and fair reliability. I rate them quite highly. Other review rag on them for their latency in cancelling accounts or failure to do so. Do it on the phone and take a name.

Usenext.de is very slow!!!!
It can't get 100 nor 50mbit/s.
I was complaining about it, but they said it's my fault my ISP is too slow.
But I am getting 101mbit/s from ISP on every port. They are not trimming me.
They can't held what the are telling. Full bandwidth. What junks!!!

its a complete scam, they will attempt to get money from you years later when your account is closed by using debt collectors, please look up "Usenext scam" on google and do not use them.
I hope I have save many stressfull moments.

1. Subscribe to a well-known Newsgroup provider (Giganews, Astraweb, etc.) which has comparable pricing.
2. Download a usenet client (Newsbin Pro, Newsleecher, or if you don't want to pay get Grabit which is freeware).
3. Join an NZB forum (there are plenty).
4. Be happy.
I use Giganews and have never had a problem and max out my 30MB connection. I cancelled my account for the summer while I was vacationing and did not get billed anything. Re-instated my account, works fine. Maybe others here can recommend other providers as well.
Ignore 360baike. Click on it's name and you will see all it's posts are spam for Usenext.
Hi, Dont really try to explain how usenet works, it is complicated for average users, UseNeXT did a good job, to provide speedy download with a transparent price. It is true, that you could get much better offer, if you spend time to research Usenet, but dont blame the company, their software is quite good, at least the interface is good.
I would be very wary of this company - just do a search for "UseNext scam" and see how many hits you get. The only thing that matters when downloading from newsgroups is who you provider is. If files are removed every 2-3 weeks it sound like this is a third-rate provider at best, preying on those who have never used usenet before.
If you're going to pay to download your stuff do as euph0ria stated and subscribe to a premiere usenet provider such as Giganews or Astraweb and a good binary downloading client such as Newsleecher or Newsbin Pro. Grabit is freeware. If downloading headers is too complicated then join one of the numerous NZB forums out there - .NZB files are the usenet equivalent of .TOR files.
The only thing that matters on usenet is your provider and your ISP's bandwidth. I would stay away from the newsgroups provided by your ISP as you will find them very limited. I've been on usenet for several years so any questions ask.
