Reactivate Astraweb with the $11 deal

I wanna try a block account, somewhere. Astra has the best deal around price-wise. I don't know anything about their actual service.

This would be a test of it, I guess.

I would also see how fast i could burn thru a 180gb block.
One month, two months, three months. And how that would compare to having an unlimited $11/month account.

Let's divide 3 months into 180gb = 60gb/month.

Can I download more than 60gb a month using the unlimited $11
account. I mean realistically time-wise, physically, quality-wise, quanity-wise (i.e. find enough stuff I want).

If i can- than I would want to switch to the monthly account.
But if I find myself only downloading 60gb or less per month
than cost-wise the block acct would be cheaper.
(i.e monthy account @ $11/mo X 3months = $33).

Hope I haven't confused anyone. But my original question is this:
If I first sign up for their block account and use up all the 180gbs
then I decide hey I want to do the $11/mo Special instead- will Atstraweb let me get that $11 Special..? The OP seems to imply that the special is for new account signups only. Is that true/

Well it would technically be a new account, email customer support and ask them that, say you want to try their service but you want to try the "block" first and if you like there service you want to switch to the monthly plan and see if you will get it for $11....I actually pay $39 I pay for 3 months just 'cause I never know when I have money :lol:

Unless you have a static IP or never clear out your cookies, there's no way that Astraweb (or anyone else) will ever know that you are the same person when you re-visit their site.

By the time it takes you to use up your 180gig block (several months I presume) there's no guarantee that this "limited time" $11 'Kleverig' deal will still be available.

Unless you average over 80 gigs per month, Astraweb's 180GB block account should work out cheaper anyway.

okay, thanks everyone for the good points.

yes there is a way if you use the same credit card or paypal account duh! :lol:
