As the title says are VM throttling Usenet again?
I'm on their GB tier and up until the 26th March my Usenet downloads averaged over 100 MB/s, usually they would be around 108 MB/s.
Ever since that date my downloads are fluctuating between 20-48 MB/s, but if I go to speed test sites I'm being shown pretty much my full bandwidth (although ping has increased during this time to 10ms from 7 or 8),
also whilst I am downloading from Usenet the speed test sites are showing a pretty accurate measure of my remaining bandwidth.

All of my Usenet servers are SSL servers on port 563 and over the past week I've pretty much eliminated any hardware faults in my own equipment, so either my VM Hub 4 (which is in modem mode) has suddenly developed a fault, my area has suddenly become congested at all hours, my area has maintenance being done (nothing is announced when I phone or check in my VM) or VM are throttling me on Usenet only.

Is anyone else experiencing any problems like this?
