I meant 20mb. It was just how i did the maths in my head.
Acceptable Use Policy my arse, more like unAcceptable Use Policy.
Check this little detail:
(Points 1 & 2): Eeeerm, aren't illegal and unlawful pretty much the same thing?Our Acceptable Use Policy covers a range of prohibited activities, but it mainly focuses on the most severe misuse of our services. That's activities that are:
* Illegal
* Unlawful
* Or inconveniencing other internet users.
(Point 3): Basically, their poor infrastructure, somehow, justifies traffic management
And here's the traffic management, which applies to ALL users automatically and without notice:

lol when i wa using them i knew it all inside out too
i must resist the tempation until the prices drop
Indeed, seeing that the 50meg has no throttling is REALLY tempting...i must resist the tempation until the prices drop
the price for 50meg when i only have cable with virgin... is NOT
this is what i get all the time when i test my speeds
and i have had all the speeds they do/did 2/10/20/50 and i do download a lot and i never got throttled on any of there speeds cant wait for the price to come down and to get 10mb up as well that will be very good and i cant wait for there 200mb service to start as well
Really? When did you use to have the 20Mb connection? How much would you download between 4-9 (and not get throttled)?
i got it about 2 months after they started doing 20mb and got rid of it for 50mb about 3 weeks ago and i download about 2gb of stuff a day or there abouts some days it is more like 10gb for games like mods/custom maps and so on and i was allways downloading a full speed or as close as i could if there upload was not that fast from where i was downloading at
Oh, I see
'A lot' for you is what I call my daily browsing
When I say downloading I mean a couple DVDs, 3-4 720p episodes (~1.2GB each) and some 'minor' xvid 700MB films...
I mean, why would you pay for a >20Mb connection otherwise?
I am on the 20Mb and download quite a lot! Yesterday while downloading from EA with their download manager i was capped for the first time! Not an enjoable experience, seeing my 2.3Mbps drop to 589Kbps.
Otherwise i've had no problems with them.... unless i need to ring them.... or when they mess up my bill...... or when they change my TV package for no reason....
Great product, poor service is Virgin's problem!
I'm happy if i see 589kbps.
How stupid is that.
I have just signed a new 12 month contract with virgin and the chappy on the phone told me that all traffic shaping is going to stop on the 3rd of August on all Virgin packages. I don't know what truth is in it, but i told him that i would only agree to the contract based on that comment, and he guaranteed it would happen. They are also due to start offering line rental on that date. Fingers crossed!
That would be good!
Good news,
Never had a problem with VM internet, however i have been waiting for 3 years for them to upgrade the TV hardware as i cant get the Digital TV i can get the analogue but no digi
/sad face
Wow, that would keep me with VM simply because my connection is 99% up (think only 3 times down over 7 years lol) and is normally 9-10mb but when throttled it is very unstable so withouth throttling it would be the best supplier imo.
