But can't you see that is totally meaningless ? What the heck does it matter if you can get 18.5 megs over nntp if http downloads are only 8meg ? Many people don't use nntp, most only care about http so the only relevant test is the speed tests.

I have to agree with there ...
Uma or Ruby never mention the fact that we`ll also need some Newsgroup subscription if we actually want to see these full 20Mb download speeds they offer eh
We dont have 20(4-16)Mb for these super fast downloads anyway,we only have it so 3 or 4 machines can all use the thing without issue if needs be.
Not so sure about speedtests being fine though as any http dl V speedtest check i`ve ever done has been on par with the with the results in my above post 99% of the time.
Even when we had the 4 & 10Mb teirs(when the dl speeds WERE what they should have been)there was always usually a difference between the two.
I`ve still never witnessed the full 20Mb quota myself but of course seeing that on most http downloads is going to be very unlikely to say the least i think.
See what happens next month i suppose when i sack this NTL120 myself
