Yep, lobbed them my ¤10 and got so far 5 e-mails from / about my new first gate account. Bargain really, only ¤2 per e-mail.
I understand that they have to cover off their bandwidth costs but it's a sad day. I can't believe a text only swerver burns that much. Some university admin fuckwit will be at the bottom of it no doubt. 250,000 users, so that will be ?25,000 for us, whahey.....except that about 2500 people will actually pay it. 'Hog
But why should they pay for the hardware & bandwidth and give the service away for free? 10 euros a year is **** all. Feel free to pay £10 a month for another news service if you want.
I'm not bothered. The other reason, is that I used one of those 'one off' credit cards for the 'net, so that won't work, the next time round.
I still don't know how those work. Also, did you know that apparently if you subscribe to something that recurs that the company can quite legimitally present it to your card company, and because you've agreed to pay it, they have to honour it? Even if you've closed the card... This may only apply to direct debits but I know Amex tried it on me and I was not happy.
