This page is meant as a quick index to compare one usenet provider to another in some of the major categories. For a complete review please click on the server name.
Scoring has changed and higher scores are now harder to achieve. In addition to multipart binary retention we now rate singlepart binary retention and no longer rate group count. This way more emphasis is on retention and completion.

Special thanks to those companies that provided us with accounts to help with these reviews.
We would really like to stress that users review the terms of service, refund policies, and cancellation policies of the providers they are choosing. If they do not have such policies publicly posted or if they are vaguely written please think before signing up. If you do not see acceptable use, spam and cencellation/refund policies please contact the provider and ask where the documents are located. Remember that when you sign up for these providers you are agreeing to them.
