Usenetserver.com problems

I never had any major problems with speed. I had 4-5 connections with the Error400 but still DL'ed around 3-4MB/s on my university connection so no complaints :P I did take them up on their 1 free extra week offer through customer service for the "hassle"

Where is this offer?
 
Been having the dreaded 400 issues this week and taking ages to connect especially using SSL,but when i don't use SSL it connects almost straight away for some strange reason.
 
I thought my ISP finally was doing some kind of throttling on me. For a little over a week I've been getting slow speeds, and connections errors.

I really think I will be switching over to Giganews before my subscription renews.
This is BS....
 
Everything was fine yesterday but ...
... here we go again it doesn't connect at all ssl ,nntp 1 to 10 , nothing works.


Ok i am out of usenetserver.

Good luck everyone

I gave it one more shot but i lost my hopes with them........
 
I'm maxing my speeds once again; it was only after many phone calls and online chat and level #2 support plus they give me 2 weeks for my headache. I guess you have to be like me and be very, very impatient and uncompromising with your internet service.
 
Was just reading this thread and I was wondering is SSL really that important? I'm with newshosting and don't get it, so if it's actually really important I might have to change...
 
I finally got pissed off enough to cancel my account, plus it would have renewed tomorrow. Things were 'alright', not great but just alright for a day. Then I was back to downloading at a crawl and tons of connection errors. I was getting about 200-600KB\s on a 1200KB\s line

I switched to Giganews, speeds are excellent as expected, 1258KB\s and very steady.
They are just so darn pricey.... ugh.

No, it's not unless your ISP is doing traffic shaping.
If you use the forum search there is dozens of threads discussing SSL.

What kind of conection do you have? :blink:

I'm having Power Usenet now and I like it: I'm maxing out my 6 Mb connection and the retention is good. :)

I'm also having Ngroups but the retention is not that good and many groups are missing so I'll cancel my subscription.

I have a 6Mb down connection and I was lucky to see more than 350-400 KB/s I always usually get between 750-800+ KB/s .

Maybe I did not give it a chance really I was so fed up with usenetserver that when after a day the speed did not get better I canceled and started looking again.
