Yeah, that's $11 US or about a $100 Canadian.

That price is incredible and it's unlimited too! I don't think I've seen anything cheaper. I'm currently on the bronze plan at Giganews - $8/mo and 10 gb limit. To get unlimited I'd have to upgrade to their platinum plan which is $25/mo. Retention is great but I see that Astraweb has increased their retention to 270 days now. Giganews recently added two more tiers to their plans (pearl at $5/mo. and jade at $3/mo.) but still cannot compare to Astraweb's bargain prices.

I hadn't thought about switching over before but now I am.
