Many users look for and use free/open usenet servers, however as many of us know free newsservers die daily and people get tired of them and look for a paid provider. Enter free-newsservers. With a large list of free servers and an excellent paid service they are a "one stop shop".
Their news service offers 15 days of multipart binary retention, 18 days of singlepart binary retention and 150+ days text retention outside of the alt heirarchy. With singlepart binary completion at 99%+ and multipart binary completion at 98% they have an excellent service. Speeds were quite respectable and posting was good as well.
Overall free-newsservers rates a score of 85%. They lost slight points for singlepart and multipart binary completion.
