Are there any catches with Blocknews, like it is slower or something?

I've been paying $15 to powerusenet for unlimited, but it looks like I only download about 40 gigs a month. A 200 gb plan would save me about $10 a month. Any month I don't download at least 100gb I'm still saving something (I have never cleared 100gb/mth).

Supernews also has $100/yr, which is nearly half of what I'm currently paying. It doesn't make much sense to pay $15 to powerusenet anymore unless I am missing something that makes them worth the $15?

Astraweb recently started offering 1TB block plans for $50. I just moved to it from the $11/month plan I've had with them for years. It's the exact same plan as the Unlimited plan, though you actually get more connections if that's important to you. If you have a usage pattern that warrants a block plan it's the best deal I have found.
