Astraweb retention being increased to 270 days

[Xx_OneLove_Xx]

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

270 days unlimited Astraweb for $11 with a backup block account with 365 days retention on Giganews would be the ultimate set up!

:drool:

Best 11$'s spent.

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.

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.

Its been 160 days for a while now. Wonder they will start increasing.

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

I emailed them and asked and got the following respopnse:

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.
