Firstload, based in the United Arab Emirates, has been active in the segment since 2005, albeit exclusively in the German-speaking market. Firstload offers its customers the "four guarantees" of anonymity, security, simplicity and no advertisements. Compared with all other providers, Firstload makes a particularly good impression with its test package. The provider allows potential customers a 14 day trial with 15 GB of free download volume.

Conclusion:
Firstload is right up there with UseNeXT as the most popular Usenet provider in the German-speaking world. However, this provider does not enjoy similar success internationally. On the plus side, Firstload can boast excellent value for money, an extensive test package and a fee-based download flat rate. However, two key factors tarnish the overall positive impression. Firstly, the telephone support service is only available during business hours (Monday – Friday, 8 am to 6 pm), and secondly, only German-speaking customers are truly able to use the provider's services via its own newsreader software Ikarus.
