Depends on what kind of throttling and why it's being throttled.
However, a free VPN service it going to be very slow - possibly slower than being throttled.

i,m talking about p2p throttling that BT & VM implement between certain hours ?
Pete is right, going through a VPN will be limited to the network speed of the VPN, which if it's a free one I'd be surprised if it was particularly fast.
You could just use a non-standard port if you're using Usenet, otherwise if you're using Bittorrent you're probably SOL.

yeah this is what the support told me
The best way to find out would be to take a 24 hour trial, by using our service BT will not know what your doing but If they reduce your speeds during certain hours then this might affect the VPN speed, as a VPN will only be as good as your connection. But as mentioned best way would be to take a 24 hour trial and test It first.
Sorry to double post ...but what is a usenet and how does it work ? any links to one would be helpful
