Being a very happy purchaser of Black Friday Newsdemon blocks, noticed they stopped delivering over last couple of months. Apparently they have moved to a new backbone and now have very low time based retention rates. Unclear whether they will continue to try and build up retention. On the plus side they reset my pre purchased block from 660GB/1TB to 1TB, but not much use to me now as I mainly look for old TV and radio dramas.

Currently free-trialling other options, Eweka is giving me access to 10Y+ posts so far, at $10 per month with 7 day free trial vs my lifetime 1TB block for $10!!!

Just checked my account and my block data is intact…so far?

  Mine’s intact and in fact been reset to original purchase amount of 1TB. The issue is that most old posts have disappeared due to low retention days on the new infrastructure.

As far as I understand NewsDemon was an Omicron reseller but not anymore. Why don't you trial another Omicron reseller? This one, for example, has a US$13/1TB plan: https://www.thecubenet.com/clients/cart.php?pid=144
