Alrighty, just a quick question here. I'm using usenetserver.com's service with my Cogeco standard internet connection. My connection is apparantly 10mbs but I never go past 1.2 megs. Is it really throttled that much and is anyone else getting better speeds?
Have you tried Cogeco's news server lately? It's much improved over what it was, and it's free!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22618987 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 00:25:45 EDT Re: Cogeco Usenet Speed http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613797 urbanriot :

Most people don't realize they can bump up the amount of connecctions, which is required to attain high speeds with any usenet provider I've used in the past few years. Are you using more than one connection? Since bumping mine up to 20 I get 1.6 ~ 1.7 any time of the day. When it was lower, I had the same slow speeds. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613797 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:55:39 EDT Re: Cogeco Usenet Speed http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613496 Ravage_D : DAK is right.

Just to clarify, 10Mbps = 1.25 MB/s or 1250 KB/s

So, if you're getting 1.2MB/s, that's actually quite good!

The difference is because of megabytes vs. megabits.

8 bits in a byte ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613496 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:15:59 EDT Re: Cogeco Usenet Speed http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613143 DAK : ....

Your connection is rated as 10mbit, your nzb client rates your downloads in megabytes. Your connection is capable of a max speed of ~ 10mbit/8 ~= 1.2MBps.

So no, it's not throttled, it's just the varying ways of displaying bandwidth, megabits, megabytes. 8 bits in a byte, so you have to divide by 8.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613143 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:22:26 EDT Cogeco Usenet Speed http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22613054 anon : Alrighty, just a quick question here.
