I am on fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) and I am 700 metes from the cabinet.
I now have 62Mb download with 14Mb upload for £26/month unlimited download cap.
What a result!

had infinity since the start of the year, was getting around 32mbps download and 9mbps upload
recently though wireless routher has been playing up and only getting 5mbps DL & 7mbps UL resetting it occassionally works, so troubleshooted using wired connectionm, on which i got 78mpbs DL & 18mbps UL
contemplating re-cabling my whole house with cat 6 cables and sockets now
oh and i would def recommend the newsgroups route for DL, have cleaner and faster then any other method

They seem to be expensive, and I am not so sure I would want to trust them with my card details for re-occuring payments
these usernet stuff was before my time in IT so have no clue what ist all about. Any chance you can give me some links to get started

You usually get the last year of uploads but you get old stuff reposted a lot.

I don't think encryption will stop it, and my seedbox is 9 quid a mo via paypal.
100mb/100mb, no real limits - so bloody quick I think it's not taken the torrent link, when in fact it's already downloaded it before the browser had time to refresh. Then use Transmit (if Mac) to download it from there at full 40mbs.
Or you could use TOR or a VPN?
Usenet (NNTP) is as old as the internet but you'll need a news server such as EasyNews and don't count on getting anything old movie wise, the retention times arent that good.

Make sure you disable WPS (wifi protected setup) on the Homehub as it's vulnerable to wireless hacking attacks. BT have addressed the issue and should be turning WPS off as default on newer models.
