Astraweb slow downloads for anyone else?

[sassan]

This is driving me crazy, my connection is maxing out on speed test sites but I'm getting terrible speeds. Can anyone else confirm?

Update: Seems that it's the U.S. servers that are slow and the Eu servers are fast at the moment.

I tend to always use the EU servers, and not the indeterminate and US ones. Sometimes I will also mix servers, like 8 US and 8 EU.

Getting 11MB here atm..
I always use EU servers. well that is because im in Europe lol. ive got terrible speed via US server

But i might consider myself lucky because my ISP has a direct route to ams-ix where their servers are.
That's why i suppose i get speed that is higher than my. subscription plan allows me to have. It seems like a peering to me or whatever it is called because i get "normal" speed from almost everywhere else except for several sites + via local peers from torrent ... dunno

downloading some crap =) ==>>

Getting 33Mbps+ from my 30Mbps line so obviously no issues here. I use their 3 SSL addresses, 7 for the ssl.astraweb, 7 for US , 6 for Euro server.

Was slow for me when the post was made as well, but sped up over time. Guessing it was a server/routing issue. No biggie for me, and as always, there are alternate servers available!
