Smiths Grove, KY | Awesome News!
This is great news. I wish it applied to news groups though. Thanks to that anonymous poster for sharing this.

Nope. Unfortunately that max I see on my 10Mbps/1Mbps connection right now in 1.5Mbps. I think if you pay for external news group service then I think you can max out your connection, but I'm not positive.

Insight outsources it's Usenet services to Giganews. They allow up to 6 connections and each one is limited to 256kbps (kilobits per second). This equals to about 1.5mbit in total. I've never hit it, but most users say there is a 30GB/month cap on it also. |

This does sound like real good news. I suppose $ makes the world go around to get the fastest speed.
