Currently with Newshosting and the speeds on weekends and certain times a day are hovering around 2-300k/sec especially on a weekend, i dont know if this is the case with all news group providers that you cant get full speed on weekends etc due to increased traffic. Can anyone recommend someone else? Currently on their $15 a month unlimited package and although 50% of the time i can get full speed on my 10meg connection its just not enough.

Ok its a choice between Thundernews Unlimited 20$ a month (8 connections)OR Giganews Platinum 25$ a month (10 connections). Obviously i would rather the cheaper, not sure which one to go for....
