Not really, you can try changing the port from 119 to 8000 or 9000 see if that makes a difference? I also use my NTL news server for added boost.

Have you been on the 10mb for long?

10 mb nearly a week now i was downloding something earlier and the highest speed i was getting was 300kbps, not to be fussy i was expecting a better speed really, especially with 10mb.

ive got newsbin pro, a linkys router and unlimted newshosting if that helps any suggestions

take the router out of the equation, use a direct connection to your pc, then try the following speed tests:

results will vary, but usally the first two are spot on, also what modem do you have ?

with or without the router i get speeds of over 1000kbps and i have the silver modem sorry thats not much help.
