Astraweb

How is their service? Anyone have the pay by download 25GB a month for $10 deal? or should i get the unlimited DSL?

I have used them for about six months and the service is not bad for the price. The reason I use them is that they have the unlimited DSL offer for a reasonble price. Retention is about 8 days, completion about 90% (I use easynews for fills) and with four connections I get around 220Kb/s.

This server is a leech server, and a decent one at that. The only other real leech server is usenetserver, but they had a few problems about six months ago and I cancel with them then. Otherwise newsfeeds has better completion and retention, but has daily limits which is annoying.

Another thing, for some reason astraweb and newsbin pro do not work very well together.

Unlimted Astra accs still not available at present - Randori.com is a very good alternative in my opinion for an unlimited account.
