| Free tier | "Try Our 3 Day Trial" on the newsgroup page, whose title reads "3 Day Free Trial, Sign up today!". The same page advertises "50% off your first month of Supernews - that's just $5.99 to get started", against a regular "$11.99/MO" on the home page. unit unlimited; metered on wall-clock; The trial is 3 days with no byte counter: "We do not limit how much Usenet you can access. Unlimited means Unlimited." |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | No per-object cap is published. The unit of retrieval is a Usenet article, roughly 750 KB by convention. |
| Retention | "5+ years Binary and 13+ years text" in the page description; the body says "5+ years Binary and 13+ years text retention". (1825 days) |
| Egress | No traffic meter is published: unlimited access and unlimited speed during the trial, 30 SSL connections. The only published charge is the $5.99 first month that follows the trial. free_allowance: 3 days, unlimited volume, at the client's line speed |
| Identity | card The signup page at /signup/ renders the validation text of a card form: "Please provide valid card number", "Please provide valid card expiration", "Please provide valid card cvv", plus name, address, city, state and ZIP, and the footer says "Payments by GoCardless". A payment method is therefore captured before the trial starts. |
| Limits | |
| Binding | none During the three days nothing in the vocabulary fails: there is no byte counter and no speed throttle. After the trial the $11.99/month plan is still unlimited, so the binding constraint at 1 TiB/month is the client's own line, not the provider. |
| Interface | unknown NNTP over SSL (30 connections). The schema has no nntp token, so the array says unknown. |
| Tooling | any NNTP client; the vendor ships no downloader |
| Composes with | Three days at line speed is the largest single burst available behind a card: on a 100 Mbps line it is 3.24 TB, which is three times the client's monthly target, so one trial could cover a month if the line is fast and the card exists. |
| Reliability | The trial converts to $11.99/month unless cancelled; no suspension or throttle report was read. |
| Notes | Repeatability: no vendor sentence on trial repetition was found; /terms/ answered 404. The card gate plus GoCardless makes a second signup a second payment relationship in practice, which is stated as the mechanism and not as a vendor rule. Abandonment: if the newsgroup page stops advertising the 3-day trial, the record becomes paid-only. |
| Evidence rung | documented Trial length and the unlimited terms are quoted from the vendor's own page today; the card gate is quoted from the vendor's signup form validation strings. No trial was executed. |
