Power Usenet currently offer just two simple plans to choose from:

There are two differences in these plans.

The main one is that the Secure Power Usenet plan offers encrypted downloads using SSL technology, this means that nobody but you and the provider know what you are downloading and uploading.

The other important difference is the amount of concurrent connections you can establish to the server: the more, the better.

If you are a heavy user with a good bandwidth connection and want to download quickly, then choose the Secure Power Usenet plan.

If you are fine with lower workloads than choose the less expensive regular Power Usenet plan.

There is an Introductory Pricing offer that gives you the first month at 50% the regular price for both plans.
