Re: Newgroup Service Speed and Retention Upgrade
it's sounded good at first then i found out that you can only use one DSL Account or beter i say 2 connections per ip address since i have more then one dsl extreme service and was login in to have higher speed before , so with the other provider i can have 3 accounts logged in witch gave me 2 connections x 30k or (240kb) = 60k (480kb)
60k or (480kb) x 3 accounts = 180k or (1440kb)
and now only maxed out to 
2 connections x 42k or (336kb) = 84k (672kb)
so i say give me back what i had or fix it
other wise people will disconnect there other not need service from DSL extreme |

The newsgroup is one of the main services that DSLExtreme provided very well that other ISP couldn't touch. Now with the upgrade and the limitation of connections because of the IP address, I might have to look elsewhere but I'm not jumping to any conclusion as I think DSLExtreme is working out a solution.
But I think all they have to do is when you log on the server is to have it check the account that is logging in instead of your IP address. This wasn't an issue before the upgrade so why is it an issue now, I don't know. |

The limited connection per IP is something we are aware of and are actively working with the third party news provider to have changed. They have not provided me with a specific time frame but it is something that we are actively addressing. Baring any limitations on their end it will be adjusted to be 2 connections per login without an IP limitation. |

I use this method to access giganews via 4 connections from home to get very high speeds. I setup my multiwan NAT box to force a specific connection for certain ports and ssh to listen on multiple ports and then I just setup 4 SSH tunnels on the different ports and setup my usenet client to use 4 different servers. It makes it really easy to max all my connections at once.
