The slowness reported is International speed (International web pages etc)..
I borrowed an Xtra Jetstart Account about 1 month ago, and it was very
noticable at downloading at about between 3-> 7KB/Sec international (where
other jetstart providers I got full 16KB/Sec)

Download something via web brower say from www.download.com (something which
someone else wouldn't of downloaded before - as it wil be cached otherwise)
and see the speed.

You where using Xtra's Usenet server (National?)

Thanks
Craig
