I'd like to know this too. I use Giganews.

I'm on 3mb (probably the only one left...) and up to 3 months ago always got full speed. Then I discovered usenet.. Well, had used it before, just not for heavy downloading. Since then I might get full speed for an hour or two, then the speed just gets slower. Then the connection breaks off and its intermitant connection thereafter. Very annoying. I'm sure ntl is doing something to limit downloading. So 3mb means 3mb only if you use it for a small amount of time...not much point in these fast speeds if you can't use it when you want it.
