Also known as: white-label provider, rebrander
A retail brand that buys wholesale capacity from a backbone and sells accounts under its own name, billing, and support. Resellers set their own prices and connection limits but cannot exceed the retention or completion of the backbone underneath them. Most Usenet brands are resellers, which is why checking which backbone a service runs on matters more than comparing logos.
