damn, another great deal from the king.
however im content with my 11 a month account.

Damn, that's a great deal. But I am content to pay monthly as you never know when the service might go into the toilet. Not that I am expecting that from Astraweb but stranger things have happened.

it's still a very fine deal. :yup:

I'll have to think if I should upgrade. What could happen?

Think of it like getting married. If someone better later comes along, you're stuck.

Providers like Astraweb and Giganews have been around a long time and have a good reputation, so it's not nearly as risky as putting your money in a reseller that just stepped out of the bushes.

If high retention is very important, then maybe stick with paying monthly, because there's no telling who will have the best retention 6 or 9 months from now.

I was just thinking about dropping my $11/month plan for the block account.. now I don't know which way to go!

thats a very nice deal :rolleyes: my gawd.

I'm currently on the $11 unlimited DSL option.
If I sign up with this yearly account and decide along the way I'm not happy, would I be able to cancel and get a refund for the remaining months left? Or is it like a contract that cannot be broken without penalty fees being applied?
Still a really good price.

i doubt it , its like a one time price not really sold by the month.:yup:

Tempted by this but also take into account the $11 deal per month maybe up by next year, although it has been rolling sometime. Difficult choice but I think I will take.:w00t:

Usnetnow.net is trying to beat Astraweb, sort of, by offering a 6 months for $48 prepay special. So basically the same $8/mo deal that Astraweb has going.

It is almost as if there is a pricing war going on, huh?!:w00t: I am not one to pre-pay for much of anything for 6 months, let alone a year. Those who do, good deal! Of course, those good with money will realize that the interest you can make off of the extra 48 bucks by having it in your account, or simply available to you, rather than in astrawebs hands for that extra 6 months, paying for only 6 months is actually a better deal!

Usenetnow resells readnews.com. The person that runs usenetnow is swintec who posts over in the filesharing forum of dslreports.com and is a pretty active user there. If you had any problems you should be able to get them resolved pretty quickly. I will say their pricing is pretty competitive and if I wasn't so happy with Astraweb I would definitely consider trying them out. They have a one week trial account so give that a shot and worse case you are out 5 bucks or so.

Well there's a little disappointment here as I just found out it's been capped to 1 megabit/sec :pinch: so that works out to be 125 kilobyte / sec? :frusty: Nevertheless that still is a fair enough deal
