Hi,

I pay $10 a month for a fast SSL usenetserver connection. I want to get faster internet (with 02 now which I like but I tend do download lots of stuff for work and do a bit of newsgroup downloads).

I specify port 443 now and get about 2MB/s on my 19Mb connection.

If I join Virgin do they throttle newsgroup downloads on 443? Some people suggest that it throttled others say it is not.
