Glad you are still here doing this. I was worried you left after the reddit API policy changes.

Giganews is having a sale: $4.65 per month when you pay annually. Plus 60 day free trial. Price reverts to $8.33/month (the normal price) after the first year: https://www.order.giganews.com/signup/

XS News BF: Black Friday Usenet: €2.99/mo Lifetime Access - XS News

10 Mbit/s for 2.99€/m

50 Mbit/s for 3.99€/m

Unlimited speed for 5.99€/m

I wanted to try them as second provider (UE as first) but the deals aren’t that interesting for me. I’ll go with usenet agency instead.

I think you forgot the actual frugal entry.

Supernews is having a Black Friday sale: https://www.supernews.com/
Monthly: 5.99 for the first month, then 11.99/month. 3-day free trial.
Annual: $48/year for one year, then $99/year. 30-day free trial.

This is very nice and so easy to read and compare! Thanks OP

Added both deals.

I was worried you left after the reddit API policy changes.

I tried to. But the alternatives suck on both axes: technology and function. The BF post on Lemmy is the way it is because Lemmy does not support tables in markdown.

It is a placeholder entry in the UF table because of their bonus server. The entry in the Highwinds table will appear if/when they reveal their deal.
