200

I want more if I can get it.

And I don't really see a problem in paying $20-$30. This is just pocket money anyway.

Mehh, I think at a certain point retention becomes all the same.....
I personally dont care when it goes over 250 because all the stuff posted then is out of date for me anyway. ( Apps )
Although I can see it for other stuff too ( movies, games, music ).

All in all it's all good for us consumers. Some healthy competition is a good thing.
I've been an Astraweb user for a year now and I'm very satisfied with their services.

All i can say is Astraweb FTW .

Holy fucking shit, i'm speechless.

Retention is growing at a rate someday when we want to see classic films and play classic games we may download the original usenet post. Its rather astonishing when you consider the growth of usenet in recent years as far as the overall feed size that they are able to continue to scale their servers to hold so much information.

In addition to lowering prices, giganews should implement block pricing as well.

Most giganews value seems to be in their unlimited plans,

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

amazing news, yeah atm. there is no reason to stay with giganews, paying the extra 15 a month is getting kinda costly for me, already canceled giganews so at the next invoice, astraweb here i come! +D

Wonder if a price increase will follow? I'm glad i got in at 11$/ Month
