Go to Provider →Backbone
A Usenet backbone forms the physical "backbone" of the Usenet infrastructure, on which the actual newsgroups and files (binaries) are stored.
Backbone
Omicron
Server Location
Choose the server location closest to you. Users in the USA get the best speeds when the provider also has servers in the USA. For users in Europe, European servers are recommended.
Server
EU, USA
Jurisdiction and Privacy
Not only technical encryption protects your data, but above all the laws at the provider's location. There are massive differences here:
The US Risk (CLOUD Act & FISA): US companies are legally obligated to grant US authorities access to data. This applies even when servers are located in Europe. Many US providers advertise that they don't store logs. However, in the USA, authorities can force companies to activate surveillance for specific users retroactively – the company's promise is overridden by law.
The Advantage of EU Providers: In these countries, strict data protection laws (GDPR) apply. Government access is subject to high barriers and court orders. There is no automatic "reach-through" by intelligence agencies.

Abuse Procedure
A DMCA Notice is the formal notification from a rights holder to a platform that content infringes their copyright. Takedown refers to the subsequent action of the platform operator to promptly remove this content to avoid liability. The Notice is the trigger, the Takedown is the result.

Payment Methods
Whether PayPal, credit card or other options: Especially for international providers, the available payment methods differ. In the comparison, you can filter by this directly.

Retention Time
Retention indicates how long posts remain available on the servers. Depending on the provider and backbone, this can vary greatly. If you value the longest possible availability, this filter is particularly useful.
Retention
12+ Years
Protection
If you want to try a provider first, plans with a trial period or money-back guarantee are ideal. This reduces the risk and makes getting started easier.

All About Usenet.Pro
Usenet.Pro offers Usenet access via servers in the EU and the US, with binary retention of over 12 years (4,729 days). Instead of a classic volume-based plan, the provider uses a pure speed model: all plans include unlimited download volume — the difference lies solely in the maximum usable download speed.
Eleven Speed Tiers from 4 to 300 Mbit/s
Usenet.Pro structures its offering into eleven speed tiers, starting with "Start 4 Mbit" for entry-level users with modest bandwidth needs, up to "Extreme 300 Mbit" for users with fiber connections and high throughput requirements. As the speed tier increases, so does the number of simultaneous connections — from 4 connections in the entry-level plans up to 30 connections in the top tier. Each speed tier can also be booked across four billing periods (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually), with longer terms resulting in a lower effective monthly price. This means Usenet.Pro appeals both to casual users looking for low bandwidth at an entry-level price and to demanding users who prioritize maximum speed.
Servers in the EU and the US
Usenet.Pro's server infrastructure spans locations in the EU and the US. This geographic distribution gives users from both regions low latency. The backbone network runs on Omicron, an established Usenet infrastructure provider.
Retention: Over 12 Years
With binary retention of over 4,700 days — equivalent to more than twelve years — Usenet.Pro ranks among providers with a particularly deep data history. For users specifically searching for older publications, this is a relevant advantage over providers with shorter retention.
Privacy and Abuse Handling
Usenet.Pro states a high level of data protection and is DMCA-compliant in its abuse handling. Details on the specific logging practice can be found on the provider's website.
No Trial, No Money-Back Guarantee
Usenet.Pro offers neither a free trial nor a money-back guarantee. Prospective users should carefully match the available speed tiers and terms against their own bandwidth needs before signing up.
Who Is Usenet.Pro For?
Usenet.Pro suits users who prefer a pure speed model with unlimited download volume and want the flexibility to choose between eleven bandwidth tiers and four terms. Thanks to server locations in the EU and US, users from both regions benefit from low latency, while retention of over 12 years is also of interest for finding older content. The service is less suited to users who need a free trial or a money-back guarantee.
