NewsgroupDirect January Terabyte Tuesday

January 10, 2012 By

What better way to celebrate the beginning of 2012 with our friends at NewsgroupDirect than another edition of their popular Terabyte Tuesday promotion.  If you’re not familiar with the Terabyte Tuesday deal then here’s the scoop.  Today you can save 50% off 1 TB block accounts from NGD.  Making the price $50 rather than $100. Make sure to sign up before 12 AM EST on January 11th to take advantage of the Terabyte Tuesday special.

NewsgroupDirect block accounts are an excellent option for infrequent Usenet use and as a backup or fill account.  We especially like NGD since they offer non-expiring block accounts.  As do some other leading Usenet providers, but not for $50 a TB.  That’s an excellent price considering it works our to just $0.20 a GB.  NGD block members enjoy 1,242+ days of binary retention along with 50 connections and free SSL encryption.

Remember to sign up before 12 AM EST on January 11th to take advantage of the Terabyte Tuesday special.
