News Server Recommendations
With the ntl newsgroups so bad at the moment, I have tried alternative providers but they are just as bad. The ones I am using at the moment are http://newsreader.com/ & http://www.100proofnews.com/. Both of them are just too slow, every now and then they will have a burst of speed but I am not impressed by any of them. It has taken 16hrs to download 650mb from 100proofnews, if I was downloading from ntl it would have taken less than 4 hours.

Although the ntl news servers are bad, at least they were quick when you managed to get a connection, 120k downloads all the time.

I would appreciate any recommendations of other usenet providers that I can try. They have to be fast all the time, not just for five minutes. I have taken a look at http://www.news-service.to and it looks to be pretty good, any comments?
