Re: [Newsgroups] Best Usenet Server for the money?
said by Shamayim  :A suspect website in that it doesn't mention Astraweb. Just my 2 centies. They may not have an affiliate account with Astraweb yet, are you expecting a REVIEW site to provide REVIEWS for end users without an affiliate relationship telling them what to say?! [/sarcasm off]

I used »www.comparere.com.
There are unlimited plans under $11. They are from newshosting and usenetserver. The cheapest is $7,90 a month. With Usenetserver you will have enough connections (20) to max out your internet service provider downstream. |

I have a 14.95 plan from newshosting, It maxes out my speed and in my dumb test seems to be faster than astraweb and powerusent.
So I stick with them |

I used paypal for Astraweb and can get pr0n.  Years ago you couldnt..but we have not had a problem giving porn groups to paypal users either. I think in years past, Paypal was strictly against it, but they have eased up, just the providers who have been around a long time have not been notified of the changes I guess.

Thanks for suggesting the $11 deal. I was going to switch to the $10 unlimited to save $5 per month but for $1 per month I went with the faster plan. Unfortunately my download speed is only 1.5 Mbs so I don’t gain a lot.

I went ahead with the 180gb block from astraweb. I think I will last for long enough on that to justify it instead of a unlimited account. Thank you all for the help!

I found an Astraweb reseller as well. It is a site called Bintube.com and they offer a free usenet client that allows you to stream movies while you download them. From what I have read since they are reselling Astraweb the free version will work with Astraweb as well. Has anyone given this software a try?

I'm not sure when the Astraweb deal will end but it's been running for several months and the service has held up well through the growth.
If you want unlimited Usenet access and are looking for value then here's a few current specials:
- UseNetServer (Highwinds) - $10 a month
- UseNetNow (Swintec is an active forum member) - $10.17 a month

said by ramakowski :Use a search engine to find "astraweb special". $11 US as long as it's active. Block is fine too,and doesn't expire, but the specials price is so reasonable and many times more data for the cost. It's not difficult to use 100 GB in a single month. Any idea when that special ends?

said by Siryak :Ok I am considering jumping in to usenet. I know this question has been asked a million times, but things change so fast the answers to the old ones don't really apply to today. My criteria is I don't need just a massive amount of downloads per month. I just want to be able to download a few files here and there.(Ex. My cable provider tends to mess up some time, so I might want to download some missed episodes etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone that *isn't* highwinds should fill the bill
giganews / astraweb / usenetnow i believe are all good and some offer block accounts of gigs.
