Which server, as there are multiple.
The US Astraweb was bad all day yesterday, to the point I switched to the EU/Amsterdam server, which ran fine for the last 24+ hours (although the hop count is ridiculous from my location, halfway around the globe, 20+).
You probably need to do some ping/tracert and see if it's your ISP, or some router out there between you and the server you are connecting to.

I noticed my speeds were shaky on the us ssl a day or so ago, but it only lasted a little bit. I always seem to max out my line (10mb)
tried the us the eu and the news servers with ssl and without it seems ok now at the moment getting getting 1800 KB/s so hopefully it may have sorted itself out

I noticed this too. I though someone was stealing my Wifi WEP but I checked my connections and everything was empty. I then tried to speedtest from a different server and it was maxing out...not with astraweb.
I do 3600KB/s
Speeds are slow today on Astraweb full speed on my usenet-news.net server. Has been fine since the last slow down.

Been running 100%+ (nice, smooth, fast) on the us/SSL server for at least through the last 3+ days. All gather you're sucking off the EU server...?

Speeds have been constantly jumping around from 250-500 kbs today
I normally get a constant around 900kbs
using the euserver

sounds like it may be the EU servers having issues.
