ExtremeUsenet Review
ExtremeUsenet is located in Holland and uses Dutch Usenet servers (BaseIP reseller - NL backend company). Security and online privacy are very respected in The Netherlands. There are many BaseIP resellers, most of them low cost. ExtremeUsenet is not the least expensive but its Usenet access works reasonably well with a good level of technical support. ExtremeUsenet seems not to have any obvious flaws: the speed matches the price, the binary retention is as promised and the support up to standard. Their team have created a good service and the rates are similar to other Usenet Low Cost services (bargain price, but acceptable quality).
ExtremeUsenet will be useful for many different kinds of Usenet users:
For just Usenet access: ExtremeUsenet is a TOP choice if a good price is your top priority, then a Dutch location can be beneficial. ExtremeUsenet offers unlimited Usenet access as low as 4€/Month !. The rates are calculated according to your connection speed. During my tests all the speeds were respected. Dutch users can easily configure SpotNet 2.0 with ExtremeUsenet.
ExtremeUsenet allows you to share your Usenet account with your friends. You can use the account from multiple IP addresses, but you can’t exceed the maximum number of simultaneous connections. If the maximum number of connections if 8, you and your buddy each get to use 4.
The final advantage of ExtremeUsenet is that this Usenet Service Provider (USP) is easy to integrate into a Multi-feeds Usenet. The point of Multi-feeds is to accumulate Usenet Service providers to get all the Message-IDs of one file from several USPs.
ExtremeUsenet is part of our TOP USPs MultiFeeds since they are so cheap:
All plans offered by ExtremeUsenet can be shared, reducing the price.
Discount Plans: ExtremeUsenet also offer an unusual package (Discount Packages) which offers access at certain times (The time options are: 0:00 to 12:00, or 02:00 to 14:00, or 04:00 to 16:00, with GMT+1.) with significant reductions: 12MB at only €2.50 !
ExtremeUsenet is one of my favorite dutch provider as backup server (Cheap + account sharing). So if you need a Dutch USP to complete files or to access Usenet at low cost (No extra features, just Usenet-only offer), we would certainly recommend ExtremeUsenet as a BaseIP reseller.
