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!

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.

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've been wondering the same thing. Not like I really need the extra 90 days retention right NOW, but still.. :shifty:

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.
