There really is no substitiute for human ignorance.

Seriously though, it’s really annoying having such limited access to BBC IPlayer in the late afternoon and all evening.

The way I see it they are throttling my connection even though I download legit paid for software.

Apparently the np10 firm was set up by ex NTL (now Virgin) guys. Just look at the postcode of Virgin Media, Tesco Internet etc – all starts with NP10!

COULD BE TRUE

I download a lot of 8GB files and virgin throttle my speed down to 5mb for a 5 hours or so a day, I hate how they are getting away with it because IM paying for the 20mb service so I expect to get it. If I could move I would but im stuck with virgin, and I know a lot of other people will be due to how crap adsl connections in the UK are :(

(remember you don`t need to be a virgin member to complain just fill in fake information where it is required and make a good complained to virgin).. HERE IS THE LINK…!!!

First virgin denied us Sky’s “premium” TV channels without even asking us consumers, just because it thought they were asking too much. Never even gave us the option. Now they’re denying us bandwidth and reasonable download times. This stinks because they’re the only cable-based TV and internet provider in England. I don’t want a satellite dish for my TV, and I’m too far from an exchange for DSL to be even worth thinking about.

Virgin have an effective monopoly here, but because other providers supply similar services, the monopolies and mergers commission can’t do a bloody thing about it.

What is the point? The point is that there is no neutrality because everyone has an opinion. However, you can create neutrality and thereby win the crowds. ISPs are selling connectivity and not opinions. So what he is doing is to ask people to put Virgin Media on a bus lane. Seems like a very old story and for a chance for all the smaller ISPs to get some new customers.

damnit.

I have set up a petition dedicated to stopping this new threat from virgin media at http://www.phoenixfox.info/sayno

sign it to help stop this from happening

(this petition WILL be sent to Richard Branson and to Virgin Media)

Never, EVER say that.

I live in Australia now, did live on Somerset, went to visit relations a couple of months back, they’re on talk talk. Their service is slow and unreliable. It took 4 months for them to realise the reason we couldn’t connect to the net was because they had a problem in one of the BT boxes they rent.

Virgin is a good company, but new age money hungry cunts like this man, should be shot and buried in a hurry. We’ll see what good ol’ Branson will be doing when 60%+ of his customers suddenly stop using their connection.

As one of the leading countries in the world of and for everything UK should surely be upgrading rather than pondering how to charge more for a poor service.

Rightfully so. You Limey faggots just take it up the ass right and left. If it isn’t your government setting up CCTV camera everywhere, you’re taking it up the ass with bullshit like this.

…says the fucktard with the dumbest cunt on the planet for a ruler. The UK is just following YOUR lead.

Where’s your constitution now? Since Dubya’s stripped you of your most basic of human rights, it seems that YOU are the one “taking it up the ass”, you sorry twat.

visit this and watch it..

You missed the point. It’s about Net Neutrality and an ISP that tries to install a tiered service model. Other ISPs, maybe all of them would follow and try to turn a profit from those who can pay the most for their content to be delivered.

It’s this mindset that is not grown up. I don’t want anything delivered. I want communication channels and access to information. And I pay for it. Probably most of those you try to ridicule here pay for their internet connection.

What I do with the bandwidth that I pay for is nobody’s business. If it was illegal I would be prosecuted and I would argue my case in court. I do not accept vigilante justice by an ISP that thinks that I might use bittorrent to share supposedly copyright protected files.

Please grow up and realize that all of us have the responsibility to provide an internet that is useful for all of us. It is essential for a society in a digital information age to provide internet access to everyone. That might not yet be a right. But for those who grow up now, it is more essential than phone, mail, newspaper, radio or TV. And we can of course not allow the internet to be turned into a TV show.

Couldn’t agree more, akunt…

“But its my right to have everything I want!!” –sniffle.

Please.. grow up, realize that no one has the responsibility to provide nor do any of you have the right have unlimited bandwidth. Or foodstamps, fancy cars…blah blah

This is hilarious to read your responses.
