OK, to answer a couple of points made.
Yes, rerouting makes some difference but nothing really noticable. I regularly use the rerouter, usually before any large downloads or when I notice things crawling.
I've been with Easynews for *years* and used usenet since the days when I used to pay for a 33.6k dialup account with Demon.
Up until 10meg came in I could max my connection on a 3 meg connection without any problems. I'm often not getting 1 meg connection speeds from EN using the same download settings.This is a very specific problem between NTL and Easynews since I have an account with another stateside usenet provider which can max my connection without problems. I've tried a friends DSL account and it downloads perfectly via web and NNTP without having to use multiple connections. So...same hardware, same isp, same nsp, same routes, newly increased maximum speeds and EN support forum with lots of NTL users complaining..hmm..it doesn't take a genius does it?

Sahill : Easynews bill in USD.
