Strange one.

My friend and I both have identical modems (4100s), identical os (xp), we live in slightly different UBR's (same city) and same newsgroup provider.

I get consistent 1.1mb connection, he gets around 400-700 max.

We both connect through Linksys routers as well

Any ideas on the difference here?

Could be net congestion, have you tried a different port for the usenet provider? I can get constant 9mb down from Astraweb using 10 connections on port 8080 and 10 on 119
