PROVIDER LEAGUE TABLE

Three fully replicated regions on its own NVMe spools, post-quantum hybrid encryption, SlickVPN on every recurring plan and a crypto lineup nobody else matches. Blocks never expire.

The honest hybrid — a ~1,100-day local spool serves about three quarters of requests and partner networks backfill the rest. Account sharing is explicitly permitted, which is unheard of elsewhere.

A clear, quotable privacy statement — bytes transferred only, nothing about which groups you read — bundled with OctaneVPN. Runs on the UsenetExpress spool, so retention tracks that network.

Dutch notice-and-takedown jurisdiction, a 6,500+ day EU spool and the best reputation in the market for completing very old articles. Newslazer reader with built-in search is included.

The Omicron group flagship. Deepest advertised retention, a full IPv6 lineup, 100 connections on Unlimited, and the only bundled newsreader here with integrated Usenet search.

A UsenetExpress reseller that pairs its main feed with an XS News bonus block, so two different backbones sit behind one login. Blocks never expire.

The only true multi-backbone bundle here — UsenetExpress, Supernews, ViperNews and Usenet.Farm behind one account. Real redundancy, not four brands on one spool.

The cheap entry point — $0.99 micro-blocks and aggressive annual promos on the UsenetExpress spool. Blocks never expire and crypto is accepted.

Eweka's sibling on the same Omicron backbone, with retention capped lower — almost certainly market segmentation rather than a technical limit. The 10-day free trial is one of only two in this table.

Runs its own Abavia backbone on multiple 100 Gbit/s uplinks, has the broadest payment lineup in the market, and is the only provider here that lets you pause a subscription.

Eight endpoints across six continents — the widest geographic footprint here — plus a 5,600-day Usenet.Farm bonus server. Pays in crypto or literal cash.

Same Omicron backbone as the flagship with Global Search 2.0 bolted on — but only 20 connections on monthly plans, the lowest ceiling in this table.
