[ale] OT: Speedfactory dropping USENET news

can top out my cablemodem at 300K/s but at work I've easily gotten
4-5MB/sec.



Thus spake James Sumners (james.sumners at gmail.com):

DISCLAIMER:
      These are MY OPINIONS             "We can't solve problems by using
       ALONE.  I speak for                the same kind of thinking we used
       no-one else.                         when we created them."
