TweakNews Features Summary Review

Tweaknews is our top ranked Dutch USENET provider. They are known for their high speed USENET feed. All TweakNews plans include unlimited downloads, a free USENET news reader and a free VPN service. Highly recommended.

Binary retention

Binary retention for Tweaknews is currently 4200 days. Text retention is set to the same. Binary retention was upgraded from 2500 to 3400 days in June 2019. This is a massive upgrade that affects both text and binary data. This upgrade is free and has been rolled out to all servers. Side note - Many vendors claim both more binary and text retention than they actually provide, as it is difficult to test as an end user. However, Tweaknews delivers.

Pricing

Tweaknews offers a variety of monthly pricing plans that vary based on download speed and number of connections needed. Of course, the longer you sign up, the more discount you get. All plans include SSL encryption and 4200 days of binary retention, with downloads limited only by connection speeds. Note: These monthly pricing packages are intended for retailers. You can get discounted pricing of $7.50/month for an annual subscription or a recurring monthly subscription of $9.99/month by signing up through the official website.

Block accounts

In addition to monthly pricing plans, Tweaknews offers block accounts, which can be very useful if you are looking for Usenet fillers to fill in parts of missing binaries. If you don't want your data to expire or download very occasionally, a block account may be right for you. With a block account, you have paid a fixed price for a certain amount of data that you can download at a maximum rate of 100 Mbit. Occasionally used accounts are also called "fill account".

Information about the free trial

TweakNews offers a 10-day or 50 GB free trial. If you choose not to cancel before the 10 days are up, you will begin your regular subscription to the service.

Special offers/vouchers

If you sign up through our website, you'll get the best price of $7.50 per month for unlimited download speeds for the annual plans that include a VPN service and a user-friendly news reader. Tweaknews will offer special deals from time to time. So if you sign up for our newsletter, you can be notified when there is a special seasonal offer. Note: 7,50€ per month is already a lot, as this goes more than 40% on the regular price of 12,95€/month.

Speed

Our download speeds maxed out at 50 Mbps, and at this speed we had no trouble maximizing bandwidth even though we were traveling on from the US to Europe. Note: Download speeds can be affected by intermediary Internet connections.
