Yep, some of us are not as silly as to pay for giggle news over priced and
under rate NSP, I get almost (short by about 10~15 days) the same
retention and better completion and speed for around £50 a year, and I am
still yet to spend anything so far this year as yet, still ysing up what
I got last year, and there are just so many free servers.

Right now I am getting 80+ days and can max out my connection for ...
nothing from one server.
