Hi,
Do Virgin impose throttling on heavy users of the cable service? Coming from Tiscali, who were VERY strict on even remotely heavy users, I've become very cautious of what I download.
And if so, is it after x amount of data is downloaded, or is it the amount of time spent downloading, e.g. 20 minutes?
Anything over 250mByte a day, and I'm afraid to use my connection for fear of being throttled to a much slower rate, but then, you might argue, what's the point of having the connection if you're not going to use it?
Thanks,
Michael
