[Newsgroups] Blocknews Block Prices Slashed - 200 Gigs $25

Edge1 Workin' Ta Live Premium join:2006-03-01 ·Verizon Online DSL	reply to swintec Re: [Newsgroups] Blocknews Block Prices Slashed - 200 Gigs $25 Actually same result as Astraweb...the issue was on my end - specifically a particular setting within Alt.Binz. A few incomplete rars which were easily reparable with par files. The same rars were affected with either service. Still the experience was very good and I'm happy to give it a go.

Got what I was looking for. Good to hear and welcome aboard! J/w...was the set of articles completely unrepairable with Astraweb? Was it incomplete with us, but still repairable? -- Block Accounts \| UseNet Now

Yes, that was the ultimate goal since late last year...but hang ups along the way with various things (from billing to programming to outright costs) always prevented us from being able to fully switch. -- Block Accounts \| UseNet Now

Edge1 Workin' Ta Live Premium join:2006-03-01 ·Verizon Online DSL	reply to swintec Signed up for a block account. Had some difficulty with a few articles (225 days old) on Astraweb. I am happy with Astraweb, but figure no harm in trying out Blocknews. Maybe you will be able to help with this particular set of articles. Been downloading more than normal lately so another 200GB is nice to have. I'll set it up with my newsreader tonight and check it out.

Good question...Well, 20 GBs MORE is nice, right? Going by todays projected figures, another 35 days more retention in the end, is always good (400 versus 365). Support on the weekend is good, if you should need it. I assume you (or any other customer) switched to Astraweb at some point because you were able to get more for less right? Isn't that the issue you are faced with once again? What made you switch then? We are toying with the idea of the web /cell phone reader as another little toy to play with for Block account users. -- Block Accounts \| UseNet Now

We may end up deciding to just make headers free though. So if I understand correctly the 200GB plan has the 10% counted in and therefore it is really 180GB? Nope...For example, if you use 1 GB right now, roughly 900 megs gets counted / transferred over by the readers and reported to the account center. The traffic as you use it is discounted. Use roughly 500 megs now, in the end, about 450 gets accounted for. -- Block Accounts \| UseNet Now
