Pure Usenet

Pure Usenet is another popular newsgroup service operating from the Netherlands. In an attempt to differentiate itself in a crowded and competitive market, this provider offers a wide variety of packages, decent retention, low prices and quality customer support.

Performance

Pure Usenet doesn’t disappoint on the performance front. It currently offers 2,000 days of binary retention, and you can access more than 100,000 newsgroups worldwide. This number of newsgroups is impressive, although there are other Usenet services that offer more retention. Astraweb, for instance, comes with over 3,000 days.

It’s important to note that this is a Europe-centric service, though. The company doesn’t currently own any servers in the US, and it hasn’t announced any plans to change this situation. Of course, if you happen to be based in a European country, you’ll be fine.

The number of connections you get depends on the account you choose, ranging between four and 12. Again, there are better platforms out there – some rival providers offer up to 50 connections.

Security and support

Like the majority of providers, Pure Usenet offers SSL encryption, bolstering security and helping to protect your data.
