Bandwidth

I have a question about downloading. When I download using a news server
(such as Giganews) and am using their bandwidth to download music, movies,
videos, etc. via my newsreader.... does the bandwidth I use from my news
server register with my ISP. Does a 4 gig download from my my news server
equate to a 4 gig download from my ISP?

I am connected to my news server from my ISP. So it seems that I am using
the same amount of bandwidth from the ISP as I am from my news server.
Thanks.

Sorry about being off topic but I didn't know where else to post this.

Hi,

Anything you get from any internet sources goes through your ISP's lines and
uses the bandwidth they have leased to you.

Just FYI

Thanks, Rick for the reply. Makes perfect sense.

Bill, that's a good one. No kin to Tots. Have granddaughter named Emma
Tater, though.

In future, please abbreviate the word "bandwidth" as "bndwth," thereby
saving precious bndwth.
