- 300(!) Days Retention. Lets Face It, Do You Really Need More Than That?
Hahaha
300 isn't enough for me. I frequently dip into 400-1200 day posts. And really, an extra $4 a month for over 3x the retention won't break your wallet.
Service works great been using since they started. I keep a block account set as backup for anything over 300 days I need but that is rare since I'm using usenet just about every day.
It's not just about the daily postings, interest in retention is more about something that was posted awhile ago, but you only find yourself discovering it at a much later date.Quote:

I pegged my monthly usenet cost at 5.50 per month with this and a block account but now with this new price it is down to about 4.25 all things considered. To each there own though.Quote:

I have Supernews + Frugal Usenet (since it's $3.99 - very cheap)... my speed is max around 13M...
...in my previous post, I found ngr blog "useless"... I thought I will be brave to try things out myself... and not trusting review site anymore... and get opinion from FST...
The $3.99 a month deal has ended.
Frugal now has lowered their normal prices to $4.99 a month or $50 a year for unlimited.
ipv6 xsnews has 800+ retention and it's free
binload has more than 400 days retention ;)
neither of those could be here tomorrow nor do i want to connect in a round about way (ipv6 setup just for usenet) nor am i a bottom feeder. :DQuote:

i am still using them with no problems. they all have dmca bs going on but i dont mess around and get my stuff on a regular basis so it works out plus it is dirt cheap. im sure if i waited awhile i would be out of luck but i dont.Quote:

When FST went offline recently the last working backup was from early August of last year. So you may see lots of threads where the most recently activity is from the middle of 2012.Quote:

That makes sense with regards to the last backup when FST went down. Thanks for your reply "unoriginal". I will be trying out Frugal since I don't really need that long a retention.
