Giganews is really starting to piss me off

I went to astranews for a few months but came back to giganews because I get a much better ping with fewer jumps and my uploads are significantly faster. Downloads are basically the same, but GN seems a little faster at times. My ping at AN was 85 and GN is 20; uploads at AN 300-350kB but GN its 450-550kB. I wish it didn't cost so much, but I really doubt I'd notice $20 a month.

youll notice the $120 a year

Actually it would be $240/year. My point is not to be ridiculous about money, but I really do not budget my income with the specificity required to notice $20 in discretionary spending going to X vs. Y.
