You really think that the CEO of ANY company actually answers emails at an address that is published on the internet.?
And I suppose turning up at the front door of VMs HQ demanding to see him will also get you shown straight to his door?

There really is no substitiute for human ignorance.

Surely a bus lane is a fast way of getting lots of people somewhere when the rest are sitting in a traffic jam of cars with one person in each? I guess the CEO of Virgin Media hasn’t a clue as to what bus lanes are for?

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

What the fuck is wrong with VM??? Why the fuck are they doing this??? We all pay the full amount of money to these sons of bitches but they cap our speeds by way less than half for 10 fucking hours a day. Biggest scamming mother fuckers on earth!

I am a top flight 20meg customer of Virgin`s, throttled to within an inch of dial up speeds. As soon as my contract is up I am GONE. I managed a couple of years ago without a `pooter altogether….Way I see it I`ll be saving fifty pounds a month.

Im currently downloading a torrent, I am on Virgin Media Im lucky if the speed goes above 150kb and while I do download everything else is slow as hell even if Im not uploading too fast to cause this. And you know the best of it ?? This is a legit paid for file from Blizzards store for a game.

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

Hey I have some more information about np10 broadband.

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!

Well Crandom, Ive got 20mb and I get full 20mb Speed. Im stuck with virgin because any adsl providor I would get max 2mb but mostly 1mb service which I couldnt use.

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 :(

this just seems aonther nail in the coffin to our so called free world the internet was once great, i dont think it will be in years to come !, unless you have a big wallet!! (like those people eaning big money like CEO’s of ISP’s), they all forget what actually made the internet what it is today !! and it wasn’t having to pay for everything, and just remember copying music and films has been going on since tape was invented ok on not such a large scale but it has always happened and always will, why dont the BPI think of a better was to change things and instead of a song costing 79p a track make it 15p people will just not bother trying to download off a bit torrent site, i truly beleive that the music and film industry are creators of there own doom, they have enjoyed making millions of pounds for many years paying so called stars millions for a single role or album, well why should they earn more than then next man and given the global market surely there is still plenty of money to be made.

[...] The freedom of the internet is becoming a very open hot subject with some corporations closing down possibilities in the drive for profits and some opening up possibilities vier the dropping of DRM and opening up applications to user creativity. Net neutrality is becoming a very hot subject, don’t get your broadband from Virgin Media in the UK “The new CEO of Virgin Media is putting his cards on the table early, branding net neutrality “a load of bollocks” and claiming he’s already doing deals to deliver some people’s content faster than others. If you aren’t prepared to cough up the extra cash, he’ll put you in the Internet “bus lane”.” Read More HERE [...]
