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] ;)

There are unlimited plans under $11. They are from newshosting and usenetserver. The cheapest is $7,90 a month.

I used paypal for Astraweb and can get pr0n. :p
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.

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?

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?

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.

What is your download speed? If it is fast I suggest trying the Astraweb unlimited DSL ($15 for the first month). If your download speed is less than 2 megabit try the unlimited plan ($10 for the first month). This will give you a feel for how much you download . You can switch to the pay per download at any time your downloads don't justify an unlimited plan. I am going to switch from pay per download to unlimited because I have downloaded 120GB per month in the last two months. My connection is only 1.5 megabit so unlimited DSL doesn't help me much.
Well dont pay $10 for a limited speed account or $15 for a faster one. Signup using the link in the following thread and pay $11/mo instead:

I have a 4mb connection. I am pretty sure I would not use anywhere near 120GB a month. I am having trouble thinking of enough things to download to use up my 10GB trial with Giganews.

I can't imagine using 120GB a month unless there is something else to download on Usenet that I am not currently aware of.

What he said. I used to do this with AT&T when they still offered USENET service. I would just use my pay account to fill in the gaps, but now I have to rely on AstraWeb for the whole kit and caboodle.

Yah I have been researching since I posted this and it is looking more and more like Astraweb is going to be the one. I am currently on a free trial with Giganews(don't plan on keeping it). I just mainly wanted to get a feel for usenet before I dove in.
