No problems!
By James F.
Despite some of the bad reviews on some of the "Usenet review" websites (which look kinda shady to me), I've pretty well never had a problem with Astraweb. I've been with them as a yearly subscriber since 2020, and had a block account with them prior to that dating back to 2011. They do appear to honor takedown requests, but who doesn't?
