    What speeds do you get?

    My max using usenetserver is ~2.2MB, or 20Mbit.

    Someoone probally answered in the OP's questiosn already in these 6 pages, but to download at 6500k (6.5MB) you would need a 60Mbit line. 6554kb/s is a 6.5Mbit connection, not MB (megabyte).

    Just changed isp's to bt. Its meant to be a 8meg line but its set at 2 megs but its still only the first day hopefully it will go up.

    anyways they give you free access to giganews but its limited to 3 connections and so the most i have got so far is about 250 kbps.

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

    I can't believe a moderator is asking that... :P

    1 bit = 8 bytes
    6500 are Kilobits, so if you divide them in 8, you'll get 800 Kilobytes, that's the max download speed you could get

    From my ISP's news server I get anywhere from 50kbps to the 150's on a good day. With the premium news server just under 200kbps. The max download is rated at 384 - so I only get a little over half of that:angry:

    FIOS (fiber optics) is coming next year - maybe - so no updgrades to our DSL until then.
    384/1.5 isn't so hot.

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