When you say bronze do you mean Option 1? If so this is not designed for USENET and get's the lowest priority aswell as speed restrictions 24/7
You Should be getting around 20-25k/second right now - this is according to the charts here, which shows option 1 is restricted to 256kbps
http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/quality_broadband/speed.shtml#Option1speeds
This list also gives you the expected speeds up and down for all of the other BBYW options.
As you will see from the charts the higher you go up the options the less the restrictions are. e.g Option 2 which is £14,99 a month with 8GB allowance gives no restrictions between 12am and 12pm daily on USENET & P2P.
I know giganews are a very fast service from experience

I've checked your profile on the Ellacoyas and that checks out OK. Does this only happen on a Sunday and do the speeds pick up at any point during the day?

Simple answer to this is that it's a Sunday morning and between about 10am and midday the amount of gold and titanium traffic on the network increases dramatically very likely because everyone's at home rather than being at work. Because of the way the network prioritises different types of traffic the higher amount of browsing and browsing will mean that lower priority traffic like usenet will get reduced. Dead on midnight I'm not altogether surprised it's slower simply because everyone's scheduled downloads start then but it will pick up quite quickly most evenings.

If subscription were via the defective Google groups interface (and this is possible) usenet would presumably be given the highest possible PlusNet priority?

Quote from: dave BBYW Options 1 and 2 get the lowest priority and performance will be reduced depending on network load.
I'm on option 4 and that was also unusable yesterday (and the previous weekend)

And I'm on option 3 - it is almost always quite usable - but typical header downloads take 10+ seconds, which would appear to be in the FTP & P2P priority region.
