Epic fail.


Information:

You will get billed with discounted price for the first two terms of your service then you will be charged normal price per month thereafter.



Two terms = Two months. The unlimited SSL plan is $22.99 a month after that.

$2 for two months isn't bad, then you can cancel
anyways paypal says that that charges occur every 6 months:idunno:

What is the "epic fail"? It states quite clearly:

$1 unlimited everything for 2 months!

I should have quoted the original post, which he now edited. The original post said 6 months.

It is a good deal if you only need 2 months of usenet.

Actually the real EPIC WIN is the fact you can get a 1TB block acct for $1!! (Valid for 1 year).

It's still live, but the site is getting hammered... if you're a block account user this is an unbeatable deal.

Sorry beansis, I kinda threadjacked.. but at least the epic win can stay now :)

Anyway, for those that got in on this, if they bill every 12 mos, and you get "two terms" I wonder if it's good for two years...

that would have been an epic block account win, but oh well I don't have nearly 1TB free space

Mother Fuckers. They changed my plan without me agreeing to monthly WTF? How the hell could they legally change our agreement? How the hell can they just change my order for something else?


Brb getting my dollar back

Yeah, I'm reading reports of that too.. Yes, it was probably a programming error, but at least contact people, apologize and offer either the one month unlimited or a refund.

Very poor performance on newsdemons part.

1 TB Block Account for $1.00 year.
-vs-
Unlimited Account for $1.00 month.

I went for the latter... $12.00 a year and unlimited downloads.
There is no mention of 'two terms' in the email confirmation.

Service: Newsdemon (UNLIMITED - 20 SSL CONNECTIONS)
Period: 1 month(s) - Recurring
Price: USD 1.00 every 1 month(s).

yeah I was a little confused about that at first to but if you look here, its more detailed

that why I thought the block accounts weren't up for grabs

Still a good deal... and a cheap way to check out a different provider.

You're not going to get a years service at that price. You'll get two months, as it was advertised.

Don't expect them to honor anything else (e.g. the 1TB for $1 got reversed after people paid for it).
