This is fantastic news. I'll switch either the end of this monthly cycle or next. Giganews does not have 240-day retention across the board, in fact it's not even close it's closer to 200 days in some newsgroups. Now I don't even trust them to really have 200+ day stuff. So after almost 10 years (yes, 10!) with Giganews, it's see ya later! I love competition.

I am a Giganews subscriber, and am switching to Astraweb at the end of the current billing cycle (in about 3 days). I'm so psyched at being able to indulge in my obsession for a lot less per month (just about half!), without losing any significant retention. Giganews has been great for me, however at the current price I pay per month, it is kind of hard to justify it to the wife.
