The packages are on the main page but its a awesome deal tbh.

 

[rocadelpunk]

awesome!

 

[dbk]

good deal

 

[allies]

Wait... so the unlimited is 50% off or do you just get amount of GB + 50% of that GB?

 

[Spelvin]

It is %50 off the prices they show. so the 8 connection Unlimited GB plan that is normally $17.99 a month is $8.99 a month. It is billed monthly and you have the discount until you cancel you account.

Any reviews from anyone?

Do people recommend SSL or is that just overkill?

Anyone know if they allow multiple IPs at once?

From the front page:
"The coupon is good for the life of your account but the coupon can only be used on March 1st, 2009."

It looks like they only offer SSL for European accounts.... so it's kind of a moot point.

That said, 8 connections and unlimited downloads for $9/mo is excellent.

Hmm. This seems pretty good. I currently use the pay by GB plan on Astraweb since I don't dl much, but they also offer Unlimited/20 for $15/mo which does include SSL. More connections on the Astraweb one, but I don't really see what the point of having that many is. I don't think I even use 8 currently.

Edit: I guess if you wanted SSL that'd be $11.50 here.

I was on astraweb before too. But 5 bucks a month for 30gb does it for me.

Signed up Canceled GigaNews for this, since this is hella lot cheap

ie, account sharing? I think thats against TOS for all news servers.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Hmm, well here's Astraweb for $11/mo.

I may just stick with this since I don't have to set up a new account and is 50 cents cheaper. =p
Or.......... I just won't do anything. Didn't realize I still have 80gb on my account.

I personally use Easynews and they are pretty good. Nice web search so you don't have to use a reader. An auto-unrar so you can just get one file rather than multiple files. The plan I am on is:
Easynews Classic: $9.98 for 20 Gigabytes or 30 days, which ever comes first and up to 143 days of retention.

Am torn whether to switch as they have been great so far... Would like to hear some more soon from some users of NewsDemon.

Thanks!

I broke down and bought a 50 gig sub for $8.99
Canceled my Easynews account... reluctantly too as they have been great.

Excellent deal, too bad I missed it. I just went there at around 12:30 and just as I was trying to sign up they updated the page and removed the deal.

 

[BustaBust]

I'm new to all of this. What kind of stuff can I get from this?

 

[AAjax]

wow thanks for the astraweb link, usenetserver has been sucking lately.

 

[Craig234]

Tried to sign up, and it just reloads the same order page every time I click submit.

 

[boomhower]

can't believe I missed this. Oh well, usenestserver isn't to bad. Plus the ten connections maxes out my 7Mb connection.

I believe that's the best deal right now. I have unlimited account with usenetserver, but astraweb is couple of bucks cheaper, guaranteed price and they announced they will be raising retention to >200days. If this promo is still alive when my 3-month subscription to usenetserver expires I think I'll give astraweb a try.
