    The only thing stopping me from rating their product as excellent is the annoying throttling.

    4-9pm - if you can't last that long without downloading huge chunks of data then you need help ;)

    In short, they just extract the fluid from us. All I want is for them to honour the commitment made to me - £17.49 per month for 10mb of unmanaged, non-traffic-shaped, network access.

    That is what I was promised in order to remain their customer.

    Sorry Rich, but a bit unrealistic on the expectations there. You won't get unmanaged, non-traffic shaped access ever again in this country i don't think. Not for the short term anyway. Check out Virgins T&C's (which changed from when it was NTL) as tbh i think anyone who was offering a 'commitment' like that was talking from their backside!

    Personally as a Virgin Media customer I hate the B***rds.
    Has anyone actually noticed that the 150 option (CUSTOMER SERVICE) used to be free to call from your virgin landline and now it acually costs something like 10p per min? So ias well as waiting on the line for an hour to be dealt with and spitting feathers I now have to pay for that privilage?
    The only reason I am still with them is for the broadband because you just cannot get it faster down a phone line.
    The telecoms market is a rip off and something needs to be done about it!!
    Sadly I am only one person and there is only so much one person can do
