astraweb has been running a 'special' deal for a few years now for $11/mo unlimited ssl and 300 days retention

astraweb is now 687 days retention, which i believe is higher than giganews for 1/3 the price. Honestly, some stuff does fail when it starts getting older than 400 days, but I have few complaints.

also, if you sign up for one month then cancel the debit card, the service never cuts off.

Yeah, not that great of a deal when we've been getting better service, cheaper elsewhere.

I'm still using Ngroup

$10 a month with SSL encryption and the same 600+ retention (probably the same company as Astraweb) They sell services under different names all the time.

http://ngroups.net/index.php


I've also said this before but with Ngroup you can connect to the US servers with one ip and the Europe servers with another. So you can share your acct info or grab stuff at work while your getting things at home. Whatever ur case might be.

if you can connect to the us and eu servers simultaneously, then it's not running as astraweb, astraweb won't let me do it.

I might just sign up for them as well, since astraweb is on cruise control anyway.
