Anyone geting very poor speeds on astraweb lately??

Now this probably wont help but for some strange reason 2 weeks ago, Astraweb would start as normal the speed would start to increase and no matter how many times I tried this 5 secs later the speed would die.

Rebooted, changed the settings within Newsbin Pro same thing, even tested my internet speed test. Nothing. In the end I reinstalled Newsbin again and voila.

I cant give a reason for it. All pratical testing tweaking etc bore no results. Try it otherwise contact them but mines working fine here in Glasgow.

Do they have dedicated SSL servers? I've only just joined and was under the impression that all their servers were SSL. I'm using 'europe.news.astraweb.com'.

Top speed for me on Virgin 50MB, a typical speed is 5080kB/s and it never dips below 4400. Wonderful service.
