- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-23T01:52:29.000Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-23
- url https://www.tweaknews.eu/en/usenet-plans
- price EUR 5.83 (Fast, 12-month term, 50 Mbit)
- free tier: No free tier and no trial stated in prose. The plans page carries a checkout option id 'Ultimate-VPN-12Mo-FreeTrial-50GB', which suggests a 50 GB trial exists on the 12-month Ultimate plan, but no sentence on the page describes it. | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: no per-object cap is published | source: [1]
- retention: 6,000 Days article retention, in the plan table | days: 6000 | source: [1]
- egress: Unlimited downloads on every plan; speed is capped by tier rather than by volume | metered: no | free allowance: unlimited | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: Email plus a paid plan. No card-free path is described; the only trial signal is a checkout option id with no prose.
- interface: nntp
- limits:
  - request-rate: 30 connections on Fast, 40 on Lightning, 60 on Ultimate + VPN [1]
  - per-ip-shaping: 50 Mbit on Fast, 100 Mbit on Lightning, unlimited on Ultimate + VPN [1]
  - retention-clamped: 6,000 days of article retention [1]
- limits note: Annual prices from the plan table: Fast EUR 69.95 (EUR 5.83/mo), Lightning EUR 89.95 (EUR 7.50/mo), Ultimate + VPN EUR 108.78 (EUR 9.07/mo). Monthly prices seen in the same page markup are EUR 7.95, 9.95 and 12.95; the table shows the 12-month term by default.
- binding note: Ultimate + VPN is unlimited speed and unlimited volume with 60 connections; no fair-use number is published, so nothing in the vocabulary binds at 1 TiB/month.
- interface detail: NNTP over TLS on port 563; no HTTP or object API exists for the download path, so a user drives it through SABnzbd, NZBGet or nzbdav
- composes with: A low-speed primary for a client whose line is under 50 Mbit on the Fast tier; it stacks with an Abavia block for completion and duplicates the Omicron spool if paired with Newshosting.
- reliability: Base IP BV infrastructure (AS34305), the Dutch arm of the Omicron group. A cached virtual version of the Eweka spool rather than a fourth independent archive.
- evidence note: Plan prices, speeds, connections and retention come from the vendor's own plan table markup read. The trial is left unclaimed because no prose supports it.
