astraweb

anybody else on astraweb getting prolonged timeouts? I know they had an atlantic fibre break, but I can't see that knocking out both server farms.
 
Does anyone know how astraweb compares to usenetserver.com? I recently signed up for the $10 / month special on usenetserver, but a few people have told me now that the $11 / month astraweb special is a better deal. The features are pretty much the same, uncapped, 20 connections and SSL but astranet is supposedly more reliable.
 
Usenetserever is a reseller of Highwinds. Which means they don't control their servers in case something goes wrong like what happened with Astraweb earlier this week. Also I believe that they only offer one server, a US based one, for the $10/mo which is great if you are in North America. But if you are in the EU then Astraweb would be a better choice because they have a server farm in AMS which would be much closer and presumably give you better speed and service.
