[Newsgroups] What services provide the best deal for block purchI was unable to pay the monthly and wasn't using it enough, I had Astraweb. I don't download much anyways, but I need a block account or whatever it's called (where you buy a certain amount of download rather than a monthly fee). Who do you guys recommend. Mostly for books and software and forum discussion. |

Re: [Newsgroups] What services provide the best deal for block pYou can try Blocknews or one of the Highwinds Resellers like thecubenet.com or newsgroupdirect.com for good deals on block accounts. |

I have block accounts with Astraweb & newsgroupdirect. Both have worked out okay for me. AW seems to have stuff posted longer if a DMCA request hits. NGD does have periodic sales so you can get a block cheaper (Terabyte Tuesdays, etc.)
AW shows these blocks:
25 GB - $10 180 GB - $25 1000 GB - $50
NGD has sales such as : Its the same great deal that youre accustomed to, 1 TB of the best usenet available for just $38 (the regular price is $100). You can sign up for email notice of their specials. Their regular prices are somewhat higher but the sales make it competitive.
Like I said, both have worked fine for me. |

Yah, I got my block from NewsGroupDirect/highwinds for $40.. I believe when they sell you a 1 Tb it's actually 1.1 Tb 100 Gb free bonus or something |

Black Friday / Cyber Monday is just a few weeks away. You'll likely find some great block deals around that time as well. - NGR Newsgroup Reviews |

Blocknews is also one. TheCubeNet has good prices, offering 250gb for what the others offer 200gb for however there was an old thread about account issues I am in the market but trying to hold out until BF *** This is where you can sign up for NewsgroupDirect promos. » www.newsgroupdirect.com/blog/ |

I never thought of BF as something for services like this. Think there are also sales on pre-paid annuals, etc? I don't think block is right for me, but I'm always up for a deal |
