    Hi

    The retention should reach 270 days in 110 days time (160 + 110 days).

    Thank you for using Astraweb!
    Looks like they are increasing it literally 1 day at a time.

    Holy shit is all I can say. I wonder how long it will take for them to start increasing.

    Nice to see Astraweb starting to step it up.

    I emailed Giganews questioning the competitors announcements.. The reply was
    "Please keep an eye on our website, should be an update there shortly..."
    Less than 2 hours ago.. Time shall tell.

    Giganews already has plans for an expansion of it's retention "well past 240 days".

    But Astraweb's price,
    that nearly unbeatable. I just hope their member base doesn't grow beyond their network's capabilities like Usenetsever did last year.

    Subscription may work well in the US where bandwidth is quite cheap but in countries where isp's offer low download quota it is much cheaper to buy a astraweb block and use it over say three months than it is to subscribe a low end giganews plan for three months

    Moves like that this would encourage people without an unlimited internet connection to try giganews
    270 days unlimited Astraweb for $11 with a backup block account with 365 days retention on Giganews would be the ultimate set up!
