What are Gigabyte limits?

Giganews' Bronze and Silver accounts include Gigabyte limits, which cap the amount of data that can be downloaded each month. Gigabyte limited accounts are offered in place of speed limited accounts because of the varying speeds offered by ISPs, either through the types of products they offer or through artificial network limitations. Bronze accounts are limited to 2GB and Silver accounts to 25GB of data downloaded per month.  Giganews’ Diamond and Platinum accounts do not have Gigabyte limits.

Take note that only downloaded articles are counted towards the Gigabyte limit, headers and articles posted by you are NOT included.

If you use a Gigabyte limited account, you can configure our service to automatically renew your account when your limit is reached which will automatically restart your 2 or 25GB download limit. This can be done via the "Account Recycling" section of our control panel at http://www.giganews.com/controlpanel/recycle.html. 

You can also upgrade to Giganews' unlimited Platinum or Diamond account to eliminate Gigabyte limits altogether via the "Manage Service" section of our control panel at https://www.giganews.com/controlpanel/acctchng.html.

Amazing support! The reply from support was so quick you would think it was an automated reply, but trust me, it's not! 10/10 to Giganews for the best support I have ever had.
