Wait, rogers is offering free nntp at full speeds now?
Edit: Oh, you just mean you can get full speeds from a 3rd party newsgroup provider. |

Which newsgroup provider were you using Stewy? I've been using Giganews for about 2-3 years now and not once have I ever experienced lag or hiccups. Unless of course the connection itself was being flaky (Something that hasn't happened in at least a year and a half for me on Rogers).

This has not been my experience at all. I used to be able to download @ 800 KB/S from Giganews with SSL until about 2 weeks ago. These days I barely get 200KB/S.
So I decided I would upgrade to the Extreme Plus plan and the speeds are still stuck at 200KB/s |

I get ~ 1.17 MB/s using SSL encryption on a European server. Giganews is way over-priced. Try Astraweb.

same with the above poster, I've always received full speeds (almost 1.2MB/sec) from Astraweb. I joined the pay by download plan where is $25 for 180 gigs/mth. This includes SSL connection and I download from the US servers |

This includes SSL connection and I download from the US servers I use newsguy with ssl for about $8.80 Cdn/month paid yearly but thing is that your unused rolls over so I have about 700Gig in my account I've been with them for some 8 years now and also have my email with them to. 300 day retention and very good article completion. When you open a group and see 54 Million headers you kinda go hhhmmmm.

My Astraweb account also rolls over but I do not have to pay $25 every month. I only pay when I run out of the 180 gigs. I dont download that much so this plan is perfect for me. Correction on my initial post, the $25 is for 180 gigs for life, and does not expire at the end of the month. |

Correction on my initial post, the $25 is for 180 gigs for life, and does not expire at the end of the month. I pay $99 once a year. $25 for 180 is actually quite good.
4 x $25 = 720Gig
1 x $99 = 600Gig + email |
