brother in law is using tiscali and newsgroups and set him xmas and his been download anything with now problem , but to day nothing just about 56kb if that .. are tiscali any good ? its a ngroup account , mines working fine

Any chance he changed the time he normally downloads at? I know im with Tiscalli and use newgroups myself and if you try download between 4-10pm (roughly) they throttle your speed to something like your describing.

Ok i take that back. Now I cant get connected properly either.

I'm blaming you smirnoff!

I aint happy with it and will be ringing them
speed test is fine
its just speeds on NG

Did you try ngroups Europe and Us servers and the different ports, 119, 443 and the ssl 563 port, as they may be throttling the port.

i'm on tiscali but i dont use ng, i use rapidshare and allways get 850-900kbs (using idm)
and i get 700+ on dorrents with enough peers, so p2p aint capped.

i rekon it's just the ngs tiscali dont like

i love my cheapo tiscali "hug"

I emailed them and got a reply this afternoon
they advise not downloading at peak times

I like Tiscali and this has only happened a couple of times tbh
all providers have some sort of capping so no matter where you go lol
