Best Value Newsgroup Site

[mrmachinegunn]

hi there i used to use hitnews for getting my xbox games but there prices have gone up and not sure if its the best deal available does anyone know what server is the best value for money

 

[witchy]

Ngroups.Net is a penny cheaper than Hitnews, lol

 

[bodser]

I use Astraweb, mainly because I like that you can do one-off payments.... you dont have to pay monthly subscripions
110GB for $25 (this is the one I go for)
25GB for $10

Or for $15/month you can have unlimited downloads (their plans are very reasonable if you download alot)

 

[witchy]

Astraweb seems the same as the rest of them, $15 is a typical price point for unlimited bandwidth, and yet again Ngroups.Net is a penny cheaper

 

[mrmachinegunn]

cheers think ill give them a go soon

 

[showders]

Astraweb for me as well. The one off payments are ideal for me! Only really get 360 games so no point paying for a monthly service!

 

[witchy]

What is a 'one off payment' compared to a 'monthly service'? :err:

I pay Ngroups.Net about £8 a month for unlimited bandwidth, what are you guys doing different?

 

[showders]

I pay $25 (£13 ish) and am allowed to download 110 gig of crap at top speed. When it runs out i pay again, if i want ought at the time!

Fook, I'd use that in a week

£8 for unlimited downloads is better for me.

Exactly! Only good if you only get certain things! Although the amount of games for the 360 lately its been nuts!! lol

 

[yottabit]

I use giganews, 240days retention, no download limits, its around £15 a month.

[jodders]

In regards to astraweb, i haven't heard of them before. What sort of content to they have? Are they reasonably quick at getting things new?

 

[apc]

[inoxx]

+1 on astraweb with SSL. Found it to be good. Retention is not as good as giganews tho

 

[Messa]

Hitnews for me, retention has just gone up and is going up again.
