Hi,

Fastmail is testing new pricing schemes with some very nice plans.

Looks like they want to change their whole billing system to Paddle so that it's possible to deal with international currencies.

When clicking a new account you can choose those new plans. And even get a 10% discount.

Examples: - Family: When paying $11/month for yearly subscription you get 6 accounts (30GB each) and all the features from actual standard plan - Duo: When paying $8/month for yearly subscription you get 2 accounts (30GB each) and all the features from actual standard plan

The full comparison is included within the screenshots.

Hopefully these plans will soon be available for existing users too. They're currently only available for newly registered users.

Hi,

looks like the news are not available in english language (you have to translate the links below). Overall it doesn't give a good point on Switzerland as a country where you like to have your data hosted or to be a customer of a service?!

The Swiss federal government is monitoring nearly everything! All people in Switzerland can be monitored by the secret service using so-called cable intelligence without cause or suspicion.

But what does that mean for services like Proton, Infomaniak, Migadu and other companies stating that Switzerland is one of the best countries concerning privacy laws?! And does it make a difference when data is hosted in other countries like Migadu (OVH Servers in France) or Proton (Part of their servers is within Germany and they want to host servers within Norway)?

I'm really interested in how the companies will react and what impact it will have in reality?! In general, the whole thing doesn't look good!

By the way: Thanks a lot for all those people and organizations which participated on those story - you're doing great work!
