What speeds do you get?

Get about 800kB/s on my ISP newsserver

This is from easynews.nl free beta, but I think they are limiting the speeds because I'm nowhere near maxing out... :dry:

Nowhere near? That's about 5 times my speed...what the hell is your ISP and bandwith allocation?

My ISP is a small local Finnish ISP called TOASnet and my theoretical line speed is 100Mbps, although I've never maxed it out in practice. I think the best I've seen is about 7000KB/s.

wow, nice speed!

I'm using my ISP's news server BTW.

In a simple answer, yes, you are maxing your connection.

If you notice the tags on both those images, kb/s and kB/s, is the difference. If you divide the kb/s by 8, then you get your "theoretical" max speed, 616kB/s. Though it's never that high, just like a HDD is never the exact size as advertised. 300GB = 287GB or so.

Dude, I'm jealous of your super fast speed. How much do you pay per month, if you don't mind asking?
