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!

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.
