I'm been very happy with my new Hitnews plan, except the speed is a bit lower than expected. The pricing page (https://hitnews.com/pricing/) mentions 100 connections and 300Mbit/s. I get a max of 4 connections (although I think I saw max 4 connections stated somewhere else) and a speed of around 1.6MB/s (=12.8Mbit/s). This is without any other use of the fibre connection
My setup is:
~$ ping news.hitnews.com

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 271.644/273.833/286.089/1.578 ms
I realise that the plan I'm on is very good value for money, but I'm wondering whether I should be getting a bit more speed (based on the pricing page)?
My setup is:
- 50Mbit/s FTTH
- IPv4
- PC has GigE cable to router
- SABnzbd
- There is a limit of 45Mbit/s set in SABnzb
