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...

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!

100 Mbps! Holy purple tights Batman! Curse you Virgin Media, curse you to ISP hell!

Kyllä vain.

OK, so I'm looking at the speeds that I'm getting from GrabIt, and I'm thinking about how I always hear that with newsgroups, your connection is maximized. Well, since I have a 5MB connection, shouldn't I be getting like 5100 KB/s?

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?
