. NewsgroupDirect is offering their 1TB block for 50% off today, 5/10, only
. The last time it was on sale, it was only 33% off ($67), so this is really
cheap, and I've never seen a competitor go this low. NewsgroupDirect
resells Highwind, one of the big 3 newservers. What is usenet? Check out my
post here.
Also, keep in mind unlimited monthly accounts go on sale for $7-10
occasionally. So do the math. For this plan, you'd need to download over
140GB every month for 7 months (assuming unlimited plan costs $7 a month,
which none do currently; for a $10 unlimited plan, you'd need over 200GB a
month for 5 months) in order for the unlimited plan to be more economical
than this block plan., That is a lot of downloading, and unless you have
tons of hard drive space and are downloading tons of uncompressed blu-rays
or something, I think this block plan is way economical for those with
moderate to light download habits, as the blocks never expire. If you
download say only 20GB a month, this will last you 50 months (over 4 years).
Remember, this deal ends today, but will probably come back on another
Tuesday.
