Re: [ Express] Speed Increases?
said by iceweasel  :Guess I'll have to call on Monday to see when NB gets the speed increase or will I be paying for Extreme and getting less than express. Yaah, it appears to be ON only right now, no one (including myself) who are in NB have reported the new speeds yet:( |

said by alexpb1 :Hmm, i'm only maxing out at 869KB/s on Usenet with this new connection (extreme) Edit: is anyone having any HORRIBLE DNS problems after switching? I power cycled my modem to get the new speed, but now only a few sites are working. Most don't work at all. I'm getting around 930kB/s on usenet. God I love it lol

Guys, try to run a speedtest during the day, it couldn't reach 7500 like during the night. I guess their network can't handle those speeds yet.

said by alexpb1 :Hmm, i'm only maxing out at 869KB/s on Usenet with this new connection (extreme) I was hitting 930 KB/s yesterday with no problems - my current speed test show between 6000 and 7500 Kbps, so I'm guessing my node is getting alot of usage today (I can usually max a speed test every time) - my usenet is now hovering between 0-250 KB/s... 
Nothing seems to be wrong on my usenet providers end, so hopefully things pick up.
Edit: whatever it was, it must have been a temp glitch - I tried an http transfer from M$ and was getting 927 KB/s, then turned newsleecher back on to find the relativley steady speed you see in the picture.  |

You mean @ ~6500/480? I hadn't read properly ... I hadn't realized that they've bumped express too. I have to admit that I hope that the 2Mbps split between Express and Extreme is returned. As much as I like the increased upload speeds, I don't feel it's worth the price spread with only a 1Mbps download speed difference.
That's my personal feelings ... although I'm pleased to see that speed increases may be in everyone's future! |
