Alt Binaries offers its customers three different download packages – the Basic, Standard and Unlimited tariffs. The price range for these products ranges from 4.25 USD (allowing 10 GB download volume) to 12.95 USD (unlimited downloads). Unfortunately, Alt Binaries does not offer customers a free trial of its service, preventing potential customers from trying before they buy. Users will also likely find the customer support sub-par. There is no telephone hotline, however users can email the support team, with a different address for technical support and billing questions. The FAQs section of the website is intended as the first port of call for customer inquiries. On the up side, Alt Binaries offers its customers a free newsreader with the subscription.
