For the last 3 days I have only been able to get 10K/s per slot from Easynews no matter how I connect, what route I choose or what proxy I use.

Easynews say there are no known problems at there end.

Connecting to Ntl's usenet server to download headers I get full speed initially then it drops to the same 10K/s. Mind you it could just be broke again.

Needless to say, this is making Usenet practically unusable.

I'm on 3meg by the way and my connection is behaving normally otherwise, as far as I can tell.

I've seen some comment from other Ntl/Telewest users on another forum experiencing the same problem and I wonder if it has relevence to the problem described in the Astraweb thread.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue..

Mick.
