Re: News: Verizon KILLING their News Server!!!
Anyone have a good low cost recommendation to replace this loss?
Looking for up to 10- 20 GB month. |

Andover, NJ | Thanks. Does the 90GB/$25 have any expiration time or does it last forever if not drawn down?

With the current pricing, the "Pay-by-Download" plan is best if you download less than 46.8 GB per month. If you download more than that, the "Unlimited" plan is better.
P.S. I had noticed 2 months ago that my speed to outside newsservers via port 119 was being limited, so I switched to one of the alternate ports that are available. |

Astraweb changed their pricing today. $25 gets you 110 GB now! That means it's a good choice if you download less than 57.2 GB per month. More than that, go with the unlimited plan.
And you can use SSL, too. |
