<SARCASM> If anyone is looking for T1/T3 services in Manhattan let me know. </SARCASM> In an effort to keep what seems like merely a sales pitch from the previous post on topic... The best thing we ever did at the last company I worked at to improve network/newsgroup performance was switch to Satellite Newsfeed. That assumes you are at a location where you can run a satellite dish to your news server though. All the newsfeed traffic comes in over the satellite and frees up the network for customer traffic. We went from 45 gig/day to well over 200 gig daily switching to satellite. The company we purchased the feed for at the time didn't offer a filtered satellite feed though. (The feed came from skycache.com which became Cidera) Looks like on their web page now they offer filtering services before transmission now though. I'm very grateful the company I work for now outsources News. One less headache to deal with. Gerald On Wed, 18 Dec 2002, Ringdahl, Dwight (WebUseNet) wrote:

If anyone has a usenet server and would like a feed let me know. (FYI current full feed is 72mb/s) We also can peer bandwidth at any of our sites which you can see at http://www.webusenet.com/peering.html (PAIX ATL and Palo Alto are too)

Thanks Dwight
