oh yeah your on IDNET that CAPS your download to 30/60GB a month and if you go over that pay a fortune
yep thats totally unlimited BB like i said living in a bubble
No, once again you are showing ignorance I'm afraid, I do not pay for 30GB a month...so factually wrong.
I pay for what I use, which is less than 5GB a month.
IDNet does not squeeze bandwidth at any time day or night, that is what matters to me.
I prefer to pay for a quality service with UK Support that know their stuff, not for some script monkey in India to flannel me while charging a premium on the phone call.
Anyway, you are happy with Virgin and their dire service..fine by me.0 -
Oh and this is taken from the Virgin thread on here;
" My sympathies Roger. This is my third day without email and the second long outage in only a few months. I wonder if other providers inflict their customers with such lack of service. "
Nuff said.:rolleyes:0 -
Here's Virgin Media's policy for 'Traffic Management'

I think to be fair the VM zealot's opinion was appalling first, and he's just retaliating.
Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly common that a question gets asked in here, then gets answered, then the trolls come out and take things off at a tangent, arguing about stuff that's (a) irrelevant to the OP, and (b) grade A !!!!!!!!.
Windows/Linux, PC/Mac, DSL/Cable, XP/Vista, Intel/AMD and so on. It's pathetic.They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it0 -

Reading back on it, it was poorly worded, and I can see why you would have thought I said what I said.0 -
