No, that's really not something they control. Newsgroups are based on a
distributed architecture. Each server p***** messages onto others it peers
with. Depending on where you are in the chain, messages will take more or
less time to get to you.

Many people use the Microsoft news server (msnews.microsoft.com) to post
here, but posts are also distributed out onto the Internet and to other
providers' servers.
