I have really slow speed with all US servers so i use european and download at 10+MB always.
Today ive noticed that my speed was awful..
i couldnt understand what happened.So i made tracert and nskookup for both news.eu.supernews.com and news.supernews.com
Same number of hops, same addresses all the way down to the servers IP address, that is 138.199.67.30 both for euro and US servers..
WTF is that?
pS
Ok, here is official answer from their support
Fanfuckingtastic!!!We only have one hostname now. The EU hostname no longer points to a different server.
There is a reason why all major NNTP providers have several sets of servers,US and Europe, sometimes Asia.
its time to cancel my account i guess.,. getting 2.5MB(20+Mit) instead of 10+MB(83+Mbit)as i used to is a deal breaker
PPS On the other hand here is the part of tracert
Hmmm here is the part of tracert
PPS news.giganews.com, max speed
