How do I measure the speed of my Giganews connection?
Giganews provides an online speed tester. There are several news readers, as well as several standalone networking utilities that can show transfer speed. Please keep an eye on the unit of measurement being used. Most programs report downloads in kilobytes per second. Giganews will always discuss bandwidth in kilobits per second. Giganews offers limited accounts based on monthly data transfer only. Theoretically, you should be able to download news as fast as your Internet connection allows. This is limited most often by network conditions between your computer and Giganews.
