Virgin Media has confirmed that it will rollout a traffic management system designed to reduce the downstream speed of customers who download lots of data during peak hours."
"
tier M who download over 350MB during peak
downstream speed reduced to 1Mbps and their upstream restricted to 128Kbps for four hours
tier L 2Mbps and their upstream restricted to 192Kbps
tier XL over 3GB during peak will be restricted to 5Mbps down/256Kbps up."
it seems your not even going to get even one Linux DVD at peak times at full speed, even from a nice fast FTP or HTML site , i wonder if the linux ISO servers you download from were are on the VM network and so didnt need to go outside, will/would these restrictions still apply...
