I signed upto Astraweb last week and its been a mixed bag so far. To maximise bandwidth useage you must use all 4 connections to Astraweb. If you have just one group updating then you'll only get around 50k/s most of the time so ive found out, with all 4 connections in use you get full speed 182k/s. now it maybe Astraweb or it maybe Grabit, because ive just switched over to Newsleecher and get twice the speed with just 1 connection open.

I have found it to slow down quite alot during the evening / night, but it's worth the ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£8 a month for the unlinmited plan, think i might jump to Clara or a decent euro server if anybody can reccomend one?
