this is pretty interesting. Podbean has added an unlimited video and audio plan. Anyone here using it? Hows the service?

I took a look at their Terms of Use because I am always concerned of the "unlimited" marketing strategy. Most of the terms were generic ones that all hosting companies enforce, but two caught me by surprise: You must provide a link back to Podbean when using embedded media, and the free account is used for personal use only. I also noticed they have a restriction on the monthly upload size, so once again nothing is truly "unlimited".

Pretty sure that stuff only applies to the free hosting. The OP was talking about the paid unlimited hosting which is $10 a month. That wouldn't restrict upload size or require link backs as far as I can tell. I'm going to be moving my show over to them on Friday and I will post back to this thread in about a month with an honest review. I use to use libsyn and I'm currently just using my own server to host my files but the bandwidth has become an issue. I was gonna use libsyn again until I saw this on some random blog so we will see what happens.
