New site, new format
Posted on 04 February 2008 by Bruce
Welcome to Usenetguide’s new site.
It was decided some time ago to change the business model that Usenetguide uses. Of course to make those changes required a number of large changes to the site. So it was decided that the launch of the new business model would be accompanied with a new site.
Since it’s all up to me to decide how to do things around here I chose to use a blog format for the site just for the ease of use and the ability to use plugins.
I realize that this choice may cause some confusion so I am busy editing the site to ensure that everything is logical and where it is supposed to be.
You will find with the new business model that many things have changed. One of the most significant changes is the removal of the yearly block plans. This wasn’t an oversight, honestly it was intentional. The block plans created some issues which I won’t discuss here, but needless to say they are gone and they will not be coming back.
Our new plans offer rollver bandwidth which is what many of our users wanted to see. Rollver works like this.
If you purchase a 15GB account in January and only use 10GB then in Febuary you would have 20GB available. If in Febuary you only used 3GB then in March you would have 32GB available. This business model ensures that users get what they are paying for.
I hope you enjoy the new look and the new business format.

Sorry to hear you switched to a new business plan which doesn’t suit me all too well… And I’m especially sorry that your new business plan was introduced “by surprise” so that none of your clients would have a chance to go for a last round of “bulk” bandwidth. Now I left for Astraweb, probably not being the only former customer to do so. Grateful for several years of very good service I felt I had to tell you that it would probably be beneficial to reconsider your change of paradigm. I would much rather have accepted higher prices… Kind regards – Michael
