I thought it was a little strange for 8 connections not to deliver more than 10Mbit. Earlier today i was getting speeds of around 600KBs and tonight it jumped to around the 1.06MBs mark.
Is it NTL or NewsHostings which is limiting my downloads? cause i still have 1Mbit bandwidth to spare when newhosting seems to be topped out.
Using port 9000 and 8 connections.

I used to subscribe to Newshosting, but towards the end my speeds werent up to scratch really, sometimes i got 1200kB/s but most of the time I was encountering 700kB/s, im on 10Meg.
I ditched Newshosting and subscribed to Giganews and have never looked back, retention wipes the floor with Newshosting, and the speeds well they are amazing, I can get 1207kB/s with just 4 connections.
If you dont mind shelling out an extra $10 a month then I recommend Giganews, they are the best there is.
And thats fact.!
