My Browsing speed and file downloads from major websites are great but my download speeds from my usenet provider have dropped to next to nothing.

I'm with newshosting and have been for a long time and never had any problems before. I am now getting speeds of 30-40 KB/sec at best.
I've been on to tech' support and they say there are no problems but have promised to look into it and get back to me.
I'm trying to remain positive but am starting to feel that this may have been implemented by NTL as a form of capping.

Has anyone else had similer problems and if so, how were they resolved.

I've tried the various ports on newshosting but it stays the same.

In 5 years with NTL broadband, i have never had any problems with usenet access and as i say, it only started when i got my modem upgrade.

Sorry to ramble on and thanks in advance for any help/ideas.

Thanks
