It is not really slower.

Astra just has got two options for users while newshosting only one.
They both have unlimited traffic withunlimited speed for 15$.
However, astra offers one more option for just 10$, which is unlimited traffic with 600kbps connection.
If you have 1.5M line and you want to use it to a full extent, then this option is not suitable for you. But if you have 750K or slower line, 600kbps is almost perfect, because doesn't matter how fast is your news server, you cannot download faster than your broad band package allows, which is the case with 750K.
