Usenet Suggestion
 

@Anyone,

My subscription with Titannews expired, and they no longer accept PayPal :?
I'm looking for a good Usenet provider that can sell "blocks" of GBs just like Titannews.
For example, what I had with Titannews was 100GB of data transfer in one year, for ~$49.00.
So it's 100GB of download, or one year, which ever comes first.
Is anyone aware of a similar plan from another provider :?:
I don't want to pay a monthly subscription. I want to "buy" a block of data transfer, pay once, and then use it as I want. Just like Titannews plans.

Thanks,

Tera News has a 12GB per year $29.95USD.
Not much competitive with what you used to have.
I'm all out of ideas...

Im sure by now you probably found a news provider. www.news.astraweb.com sells them in blocks as well. 65 gb for 25 dollars and 250 for 100 dollars. I use their unlimited plan cause i share it between me and my bro.

Hey, not bad!
Look:
You buy it and it never expires unless you spend it.
Not bad policy at all :D.
65GB for $25.00 is not bad also.
Taking that as a reference, if they had a 100GB plan it would cost ~$38.45.
That's very competitive when compared to Karl's TitanNews 100GB ~$49.
As usual they say they have all the newsgroups and that they keep every message for 25 days (this is a standard).
Should we trust that, heyitsme?
I mean, since you have their account you can tell us if they're not bullshiting us with advertising.
Cheers

Thank you heyitsme :!: :D
That's the best deal I've seen 8O :D
I just sent them an E-Mail, because I didn't see PayPal on their list, so let's see if they accept that :)

yeah i would say 22 days is their retention rate for the bigger groups. After that you get some incompletion. But i have been with them for over a year now and i am very satisfied. The download rate for me is around 600-800 depending on how my connection is doing.

You mean 600~800Kbit/s?
For me it's wonderfull because I'm surfing on 512/128Kb/s.
For others with 2048/256Kb I guess it's ok although 1Mbit/s would be the perfect figure.
Well, for 25GB/$10 I guess we can't ask for much more, can we? :lol:
I'm quite sure I'll subscribe with them in the next few days.
Thanks for sharing it with us ;).
Cheers

I always screw that figure up. Sorry if we are talking in megabits/second i download at about 6-8 megabits. I have a 15 megabit connection.

Then I'll rephrase it: www.news.astraweb.com are an excellent choice for usenet.
I'll definitly buy 25Gb to try it out :D.
Cheers
