Skip all this mumbo jumbo and go straight to the Usenet Plan recommendations

Thanks for coming to the Anchordude’s Usenet Provider Review site.  What started out as a hobby over 10 years ago has now become one of the most respected usenet and newsgroup review sites in the industry.  Why?   3 reasons:

1. We started the first Back-End Newsgroup Service cross reference, and we still maintain it to this day
2. We are objective in our evaluations, not just shilling the service that pays us the biggest affiliate commission
3. We narrow it down – way down – to simple choices based on the Anchordudes Usenet Provider Rating Philosophy

So check out our Usenet Selection Guide, our Newsreader reviews, our file-types lists, speed and retention days explanatins, and the rest of the site for help in getting set up to access the wonderful world of Usenet Newsgroups.

For those of you getting into Newsgroups for the first time, we recommend starting out with one of the web-based thumbnail plans.  If you like what you see, select a newsreader program and move up to an unlimited or bundled plan.

For those of you looking to change providers because you are unhappy with your current Usenet company, we recommend checking out Usenet Provider Back End Cross Reference to see who supplies your service, then choosing a company with a different back end by using the list below.

Except where noted, all the services recommended below have 1300+ days message retention, access points in the US and Europe, SSL, 20+ connections, and nearly identical completion statistics.
The differentiators are packaging, interface requirements, header retention, and system resilience.
