# USENEXT

> USENEXT is a commercial Usenet access provider operated by Aviteo GmbH in Munich, Germany. It sells monthly and annual subscriptions that give private users high-speed, SSL-encrypted access to Usenet, with a VPN included in every plan.

Every page listed below exists in two languages: German at the path shown, and English at the same path with the `/en-US/` prefix (for example `https://www.usenext.com/preise` and `https://www.usenext.com/en-US/preise`). German is the site default and is served from the root path. The pages themselves are authoritative for prices and figures.
