I was merely observing that it's been a little slow of late in my own
roundabout way.

Actually, posting is OK, it's the reading of headers & posts, and even
logging into the server that takes the time. Half a minute or more,
sometimes.

are you on cable or ADSL? I migrated from cable to their ADSL service when
I moved. They had to go due to peak time throttling of everything. I'd
already ditched their nntp server as that was hopeless all of the time.
Currently with Be* which is good now BT fixed the line to the exchange.

VM have decided to throttle NG and P2P between 5 & 9pm daily.

They've also outsourced NG provision to Highwinds.

It's really not as clear cut as some would have you believe as well.

For example, the 'Load at nnn.nnn' messages from the ES server are a
dead giveaway that they have significant issues on their own, that
neatly tie into the US being awake and on line.

Is that a BT package or are you unbundled?

4pm to midnight & all weekend here. Usenet & P2P completely blocked,
everything else currently throttled to around 50kbps. That's with Sky.

They throttle all usenet traffic at "Peak" times, not just their own
servers. It's dog slow in the evenings as a result.
