Hello.

I was just wondering if anyone is having speed issues with Virgin Media and any usenet hosts (either VM or a paid provider)? The usernet service provider that I have always used (usenetserver.com) has been inconsistently slow over the last two or so weeks and I have had a talk with them and they have had similar complaints from people on the same ISP. They said (however true this is or not) that they think some high users (not sure I would fall in to that category at all) have been moved to a different IP block that is limiting their speeds.

I can download a regular file at near full speed, but I was wondering if this is an isolated case, whether the usenet provider is at fault or if there is some sort of shaping going on with newsgroups that I am unaware of.

Thanks!
