Mine varies depending what is in the pipe, though it is usual 2.5 to 3.5MB.

My news servers saturate my connection. Although I only see about 160K
down.

Yes, Comcast's news servers are ok and seem just as fast. In reality I
was trying to locate something a lot faster, i.e. normal speed, or close
to, than the torrents.

Despite DSL being slower than cable, Verizon makes up for it by having
some really, really awesome news servers. Great retention, and since
it's on Verizon's network, great speed.

Thanks for the info. I am trying Usenet and am not impressed as it does
not have, or I can't find, what I am looking for.

Subject: Re: [H] Kinda (OT)
I just switched FROM them after 4 years. Mostly because the changed
their plans and also because I felt the quality of the service is not
what it used to be,
Right now I'm doing buzzardnews' 50GB/mo, no speed cap, no daily
limits for $14/mo. This is much better than my 700MB-1.5GB/day per
server, 3MB speed @ $150 annual contract that I was paying newsfeeds
and a hell of a lot easier to deal with (and less stress on my system)
since there's only 1 server to download headers from vs. 2-6.

Howdy folks,
I just looked at the http://www.Newsfeeds.com (mentioned by
Francisco Tapia in an earlier post regarding TV Shows)and they make a
lot of claims about security for the subscriber, i.e. stealthing from
ISP's prying eyes. I have seen them mentioned before on other lists,
as well.
My question is whether any of you have any first hand experience,
e.g. subscription, with these people and with what results? Can you
place a resultant value on the service package you have/had?
TIA
Jeff
