Get away from lifetime deals of services that have monthly spendings, like VPN providers, that pay for dedicated servers and bandwidth on a monthly basis.
Lifetime subscriptions cost just $40 ? That really rings the "to good to be true" bell. Why would a VPN company do that. I have seen deals like this for 5 years, but not lifetime.<p>Anyway I wonder what the EUL said, was there tiny print that stated something like "we can cancel your subscription at any time" or maybe "after X years of use or non-use" ?
Some related discussion on a submission from a customer a few weeks ago:<p><i>VPNSecure deactivated all lifetime subscribers</i><p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43865593">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43865593</a>
The company must remain profitable, otherwise it will bankrupt, right. I wonder what a better path forward was.
Perhaps their T&C allow to lower through put of the LT-subscriptions and offer an upgrade to breakeven on LT-subs.
