The page does not say whether a renewal bills $12.95 or $19.94, and the honest reading is that $12.95 is the price as long as the promotion runs - so the exposure is 54% on renewal, not a discount the client can bank. This is the largest published promo-versus-list gap in the set after Eweka. A client that pulls older releases meets removal far more often than age. Cheapest Omicron entry seen on any of its storefronts was a 15-month promo at $1.99/mo quoted by a third-party deals page, not by the vendor, so it is not recorded as a price here.","extras":{"price_history":[{"date":"2023-10-03","price":"USD 12.95 / month","plan":"Unlimited","source_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20231003193527/https://www.newshosting.com/usenet-plans/"},{"date":"2023-10-03","price":"USD 10.00 / month","plan":"Lite (50 GB)","source_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20231003193527/https://www.newshosting.com/usenet-plans/"},{"date":"2024-10-04","price":"USD 12.95 / month","plan":"Unlimited","source_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20241004075118/https://www.newshosting.com/usenet-plans/","change_pct":0},{"date":"2025-10-02","price":"USD 12.95 / month (list USD 19.94)","plan":"Unlimited","source_url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20251002023508/https://www.newshosting.com/usenet-plans/","change_pct":0},{"date":"2026-10-23","price":"USD 12.95 / month (list USD 19.94)","plan":"Unlimited","source_url":"https://www.newshosting.com/usenet-plans/","change_pct":0},{"date":"2026-10-23","price":"USD 15.83 / month","plan":"XL PowerPack","source_url":"https://www.newshosting.com/usenet-plans/","change_pct":0}],"change_36m":"0.0% on the charged price, 2023-10-03 to 2026-10-23","promo_gap":"charged USD 12.95 against a published list of USD 19.94: the list is 54.0% higher than the charge","renewal_price":"not published; the page shows only the struck list price and the charged price","currency":"USD","usenet":true,"failure_angle":"missing article","strongest_signal":"430 No Such Article","account_states":"credential refusal is 481/482/502 at connect; the page read covers article-level states only","cache_miss":"not applicable: an article either exists on the spool or answers 430","host_removal":"not applicable; the equivalent event is a backbone dropping a group or an article","backbone":"Omicron (Highwinds Media), AS33438","sister_brands":["Eweka","UsenetServer","Tweaknews","Newsgroup Ninja","Sunny Usenet","Astraweb","Easynews","PureUsenet","XLned"],"payment_methods":"not read"},"interface_detail":"Access is NNTP over TLS (port 563).
