| Astraweb vs UsenetServer.
Currently i am a UsenetServer subscriber and have been for well over two years. However with the new yearly deals that have sprung up i am weighing my options.
Me and my brother will both be using the account, he and i reside at different locations. This has never been an issue in the two years we have used UsenetServer. We both access the account at different times and have never heard anything about it from them.
Has anyone used Astraweb in the same fashion? I'm trying to debate if i should jump ship or not. Any input is appreciated.

Simultaneous connections from more than one IP address will be detected and result in excess IPs failing to pass verification. You shouldn't have a problem if you both alternate using the service. |

Yeah, shouldn't be an issue if used within reason. Simultaneous use will likely be flagged as an abused account for almost all providers. If you're considering yearly discount plans, UseNetServer just started offering annual high speed plus accounts for $7.95/mo. »https://accounts.usenetserver.com/agoodyear/

No one seemed to read that he said " We both access the account at different times ". There is no problem with that, for all they know your ip address keeps changing back and forth. As long as you both arent connected at once you wont have any problems. |

@buffalo.edu | I had a similar problem and when using giganews me and a friend had to wait 3 or so hours for the ip adress to clear on there end so we can switch. |

I was recently gone for about a month going from hotel to hotel and used my astraweb account almost every night from a different location without any problems. |

I've used astraweb for quite a while. If, as you said, you both don't try and access the server at the same time then there will be no problem at all. |

Not to say they wouldn't honor it if you called. Then again since you share it your friend could always open a new account.
