One never knows, given the path and the particular server.
At the top of this thread (a week ago) I was having a bit of variance with the US server, so much so I switched to the EU for some 12+ hours or so. Then when I switched back, it (the US) was running just fine.
Of course, if this had all happened in the middle of the night, I'd have probably never noticed!
Stuff happens, it all depends if you notice it!
Well I use the SSL EU server and did not switch to the US server. Speeds are back to full throttle now on EU. Yes I guess things happen, I have no real complaints with Astrawebs excellent service.
Life in the fast lane usenet freak
I use the USA SSL server pretty much daily and haven't had any issues since I signed up over a year ago.

I can't get the USA ssl server to work at all, any ideas anyone?

The default SSL server always maxes my connection just fine.
i was having some speed issues with astra web, great service speed is ok compared to giganews,
tried both EU and US servers and speed wise is about 200kb/s less then giganews.
though pricing is good so ill stick with astra
Both with ssl aswell

Works fine with SSL. You can try to change server once in a while.
