    Default Recommend me the cheapest Unlimited SSL News provider

    im currently on newshosting at the moment, paying £8 per month for unlimited

    im also on v!rg!n who are throttling me at peak times, so i want to try combat this by going the SSL route to see if it helps.

    anyone recommend any?

    thanks

    I looked @ UNS ( http://www.usenetserver.com/en/index.php ) a while back when i was having problems with Newshosting. I never did get round to using it but the feed back from the newsbin forum seemed fairly positive. It also has the added bonus of SSL @ the same price as Newshosting.

    using ssl doesn't make any difference with the capping on virgin.
    I was playing cod4 last night for a couple of hours then wanted to download a 400 meg episode and was capped after downloading 200 meg. and thats over ssl.

    Sorry to drag this up, But what speeds do you get with Virgin, I am considering stopping torrenting and starting newsgroups, I am assuming you have 20MB what sort of speeds do you get etc....what can I expect to download like 15GB a day easily maxing out my line?

    if your on 20 meg then you can expect 20 meg between the hours or midnight and 4 pm.
    That works out to be about 9 gig a hour.
