If I could be bothered I would show a screenshot of my current download speed off usenet - 95k!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just switched on my machine and that is the speed I am greeted with. They throttle users for "over use" and yet this is still the best they can provide me with of an evening. That is beyond a joke and I can't believe a 20meg line is giving me such a pathetically low speed no matter how over subscribed the area is.

I know there is nothing wrong with my equipment because if I try very first thing in the morning - or as I did last night, just past 3am, I can get a reasonable speed. Even then it never gets above 10meg though.

Surely someone somewhere must know if there are problems in Manchester, because frankly 95k is taking the p**s!
