Usenet Providers with Servers in South America
If you’re in South America, then your best bet is going to be a Usenet provider with servers in the region. And there’s really only one service that provides that, which consists of sister sites, Frugal Usenet and Blocknews.
Frugal Usenet
Frugal is going to be your go-to if you’re prefer an unlimited, monthly plan. Their prices are quite affordable and give you access to not only their South American server, but US East and West coast servers as well.
Blocknews
If you’re a light user or prefer to pay as you go, Blocknews specializes in, you guessed it, block accounts. You’ll get access to the same servers and backbone as Frugal, but with blocks from 5GBs to 3TBs.
Of course, you can always combine the two, and Frugal will even throw in a Blocknews account when you sign up for a yearly plan.
Usenet Providers with Servers in the US
Now, if you’re in Central America or simply want more options, Usenet providers with servers in the United States will still give you really good speeds.
Newshosting
If we could only recommend one US-based provider, it’d definitely be Newshosting. They provide excellent service, unbeatable retention, all at a very competitive price. You really can’t go wrong.
By the way, they also have servers in Europe.
NewsDemon
Now, NewsDemon doesn’t offer the same type of retention you’ll get with Newshosting, but they do have the advantage of US West Coast servers. Depending on where you live and your setup, it may be worth trying out both their East and West Coast servers, to see which gets you the best download speeds.
