I haven't bought a block account in a long time. Is there anything cheaper than BlockNews? I used them like 2 years ago.
I'd prefer an East Coast server with high retention/completion in a.b.hdtv.x264.

Cant go wrong or cheaper with blocknews mate. :)
The block sizes offered and prices charged by Usenet-News.net and Blocknews.net are almost identical - as is the retention/completion. Usenet-News gives an extra 10% over the block size (so a 100GB block actually gives you 110GB of download) while Blocknews apparently does not - at least according to my user account panel.
So that would make Usenet-News slightly cheaper than Blocknews across the board.
However, Blocknews is currently offering a special 100gigs for $11 at //blocknews.net/landing.html that no one else can touch.
very nice - can existing users signup for this deal too?Quote:

In order to get Blocknews' 100gig special, it seems that you would need to create a new account rather than adding it to your existing account, since Blocknews' user account page lists only the 'regular' prices of blocks you can add to your existing account.
I opened a ticket and they added it to my account if anyone else wants to try
