I was using their $11/month plan, then moved over to a yearly subscription for, I think it was $96. My connection almost always maxes out. This year, am up to 3TB downloaded. I am a fan of Newsbin as a newsreader, but it will cost you a one time $30. But, I think it is well worth it as it's very smooth and bug free. For free ones, I like GrabIt. I also use Newsbin's search, which runs, I think $2/month or something close, but find it also is well worth it. It is now searching out to 600 days. For free ones, NZB's (dot) is excellent and Binsearch. Astraweb is really a great bargain. I was using their $11/month plan, then moved over to a yearly subscription for, I think it was $96.

Astraweb is $11/mo for unlimited currently, and it has equal retention and speed to Giganews (I used Giganews for 3 years). -NZBDrop is probably the most simple client to use if you want to gear the post towards newbies. Unison is great once you have some experience, but NZBDrop is an easy option when you're starting out. -Some finer detail about the search engines. Binsearch.info has the more files indexed than NZBMatrix, but if you're getting TV shows on binsearch you have the possibility of getting a password protected (see: unusable) file. NZBMatrix also has a one-time fee for member access ($10 I believe, still cheap), but it only indexes high quality files. I've found a good rule of thumb is to check NZBMatrix first, then if I can't find it check binsearch. Again, great post, hope this info can help.

Pay as you go for $25 / 180GB that doesn't expire or unlimited for $10-$15 a month, and you can flip flop between the two as needed (with different accounts). So I've been using the pay as you go account normally, going through my quota in about 3-4 months. Then when I have, say, 120GB in older files to queue up, I switch over to the unlimited account and renew for a month. It's definitely the cheapest/most convenient option I've found.
