Good UK ISP that does not cap NNTP?
Well, the title says it all, I'm looking for a good U.K. ISP that does not throttle NNTP at peak rates, its a bit of a waist having a good 3rd party newsgroup provider when my ISP turns down my connection every day. :wacko:
Many thanks for any suggestions, in advance.

Well, yes an no, I'd have to pay extra for SSL but I am paying too high for the ISP on the whole (£35PM for 512k), so I hope to kill two birds with one stone here.
Any suggestions guys?

Be*/O2 is the best UK ISp and never throttles anything O2 is £8 per month for 8Mb or about £12 for 16Mb all unlimited transfer

Yeah, sign up for an Astraweb account at this page: http://www.news.astraweb.com/specials/kleverig-11.html
One of the cheapest plans going and includes SSL. Enable SSL and set port to 443, theres no way your ISP would know its NNTP traffic ;)

OK, good advice, thanks all! :)

I use Bebroadband with Astraweb SSL and can max out my connection 24/7 without any problem. Been doing it for over a year now.
Astraweb $11/month unlimited downloads with SSL, Be £13.50 for 8Mb/s.
Was with Virgin before that on 20Mb service. I can download far more with 8Mb due to Virgin's throttling. I used to get 20Mb/s for about 25mins before they cut me back to 5Mb/s. In the end I was only getting 5Mb/s 24/7 for £35/month! Then paying newsgroups on top of that!
Be and Astraweb together inc SSL is £13.50 plus $11/month.

Hmmm, sounds very tempting, good price on that ISP as well... thank you.

If you can get Be, get Be. They pwn all other UK ISPs atm.
