Charter.net cable users: How fast do binary transfers go for you on the Charter news servers?

[BillGates]

My stupid NNTP transfer rate seems to be stuck at 32KBps or so (~256k) even though my connection is 1.5mb. Does anybody else with Charter cable internet download at speeds faster than that? It's odd because the header lists download at 190KBps which is maxxing out my connection but the actual binary downloads CRAWL.

FYI: This is legal downloading, not warez, and not porn.

I have charter but I don't use their service... I use easynews.
