- interface: nntp
- limits:
  - request-rate: 50 connections, upgradeable to 150 [1]
  - retention-clamped: 3,000-day backfill, reported by the r/usenet map; not stated by the vendor [2]
- limits note: Monthly $10, 6 months $50, yearly $90 (USD 7.50/mo equivalent), block 500 GB $20. All unlimited plans include free headers, free posting, header compression and a VPN account.
- binding note: Unlimited volume and speed; the vendor publishes no fair-use figure, 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: Direct access buys the 150-connection upgrade no reseller sells, and the 500 GB block stacks as a fill under any other primary.
- reliability: Own Tier-1 backbone with US and NL farms, AS62296 in the US and AS50673 in Amsterdam. Sells to resellers (NewsDemon, NewsgroupDirect, CubeNet, ThunderNews, UsenetPrime, UsenetNews) and directly.
- notes: Second independent backbone after Omicron by retention depth, and the only one whose resellers publish blocks under $50/TB.
- evidence note: Prices and connections are from the vendor's plans page read. Retention is not stated by the vendor anywhere read, so the r/usenet backfill figure is used and the record drops to the reported rung because retention decides the retrieval verdict.
