i have read on here and other forums that changing your port to 443 with ssl will get round the QOS ,can not test it as ngroups do not support 443 with ssl

does 443 work with astraweb?

ssl-eu.astraweb.com Ports 443 or 563 (European)

ssl-us.astraweb.com Ports 443 or 563 (US)

i was lucky to get 300kbs yesterday on 50meg but speedtest gave me 49downspeed so i guessed it was astra.

443 seems to solve it

might not be as there only restricted Peer to Peer applications and Newsgroups so speedtest.net would not show it

Mine is fine .. although I am thinking about changing when the time comes....any suggestions?

 

[chrispeters]

suggest you amend that to:
ssl-eu.astraweb.com

better security through ssl

[telewestTUM]

change the SSL ports as im not in throttling area but vermin seem to throttle 443
