Unless it is uncapped, we really need a local paid newsserver!

Yeah and once everybody moves onto the paid server, the IS servers would be back to full speed Not that I'm having a problem with speeds lately

 

[killadoob]

Lol. No it wont get any better. The speed issue at the moment is deliberate throttling. Do not doubt that whether there are 10000 users or 10 users, they will still throttle as they have been.

Has it always been like this??

 

[ziglet]

No, back in the day you would get max speed on 4connections, never a missing article, no need for pars *sighs*

Then word got around about the news server

 

[kiepie]

So you saying its getting overloaded?

How many people could be using the newsservers now?

Can't it be the 4mb line every body got??

 

[Necuno]

this is the reason why they are free...

...pay severs on the other hand, well more like 32.7 uptime
with *gosh* retention and *ghosh* 99.9 completation...

They started throttling after everybody started crowding it. It was unthrottled and full speed before.

Believe me.... i know! Of course this thread basically killed that sweet bliss we had

But what i am saying, is now that IS is more *aware* of the service, they will never remove that throttling. To them it isnt a core service so they wont bother trying to improve it.
