Retention and completion

Connections and Speed

The company offers up to 180 Mbit connection speed to its fast package holders but in our tests connection speed was not consistent. The number of connections varies from 3-12 for different accounts however in the SnelNL Usenet Service software you don’t need to select the number of connections manually, connections are already set up for you but you can also select manually.

SnelNL Usenet Service

Customer support is reachable via email. You can contact them through the form available on the website. They will get back to you in 3-5 days.

Conclusions

SneINL mainly gears toward the beginners. The company has a very clean website and their Newsreader also has very clean and minimalistic Interface which is best for beginners. The company offers 3 packages which have a decent price but the cost of them is little high when we compare it to our Best Usenet providers. The services you get are also not top notch, we also found that their customer support unresponsive. SneINL’s slow and basic packages are OK but they also come with the limited speed and for high speed, you will have to pay 9.95 Euros which is very high for the services you get. Overall, this company is OK however our list of Best Usenet Providers offer better deals and good value for money so in most cases we would recommend choosing elsewhere.
