    And a stupid one that can't read too - unlike most VM publish their traffic management policy. It's very simple - if you don't like what you see look elsewhere.

    If you buy a car that is said you can do 100mph unlimited but after 3 days of use its restricted because other users cant achieve 100mph because the road is not wide enough who's fault is it ?
    Well its not mine ! same with broadband
    if virgin media cant supply a service that they offer then they should not be offering it so what if its not fair for those who use the internet less then others to be held up, They should contact the supplier of broadband and find out why if every one in the street want 20MB broadband and want to download all day long why they cant ! i tell you because your all being miss sold products ! don't blame people who down load more than others ! its not unfair its what they pay for !!!
    ANy one who disagrees with this is obvious stupid, Just like the rest who get walked over and just moan ! i quit virgin broadband :wave:and joined sky no problems now and still a good 10mb speed all-day long..
    :beer:

    If you buy a 100mph car for £100,000you'd expect it to do just that, if you buy a 100mph car that is throttled for £50,000 you take it with a pinch of salt as your paying less.

    You get what you pay for
