Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

well he prob folded it to move his details out of view.
i dont know anyone sad enough to fake this sort of thing.

but if its true then something should be done about it,
150GB is not the same as the unlimited no traffic
management i saw when i signed up for 50mb.

who knows

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

9Gb sounds like the guy you spoke to was talking out of his ass.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

I wonder if all those who received the letter were using torrents.

Maybe it is excessive upstream use which VM are finding unacceptable. If this is the case I seriously hope that the increased upstream speeds are matched with even more serious increases in upstream capacity.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

well when you put it like that it sounds like one of those things that needs to go on something like I've Got News for You so it can be ripped to pieces :)

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

guys, i also recieved this very letter today it specifies no limits so they recieved a very angry phone call he said i downloaded 32 gig that is all would not say wether it was in a day week month what i jjust said if i recieve another letter you can get stuffed when i signed up to the service the 50 meg had NO LIMITS if you wish to impose them now, stuff your contract where the sun dont shine

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

See the problem is they now realise people want to actually use their broadband, and when they do they get angry. Show them you don't care and max it out day in day out. I would (and have in the past). Might make them think twice about offering something they can't provide.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

missed this post sorry, no i use NO torrents at all EVER i only use usenet and not even to a mega extent

Ah well that's my theory down the toilet then.... http://www.kwikbreaks.webspace.virgi...milies/cry.gif

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

Not that it should make any difference ATM.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

I am not saying VM are right but the FUP has always been there, so they have every right to send the letters, they are not imposing a limit thay are just saying move it to another time thats all.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

no, incorrect, it CLEARLY stated when i signed up ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITS they since changed the terms and conditions... if i recieve another letter they can get fooked

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

Sorry Pete but if you actually read the small print the FUP is there and hasn't changed for a long time.

That said they just seem to pull a name out of a hat to send a letter to and I would tend to do as Abyss has said if I were to get one.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

I may soon find out if its uploads, as I am remote desktop to my home at the moment nearly all day.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

A 50Mb user on OcUK's forums the other day received a letter from VM requiring that he shifts his downloading patterns to 9pm - 9am invoking AUP. PeteL I'm sorry but you are wrong, they can and are doing this.

Personally I see nothing wrong with this, downloading whilst asleep makes the most sense to me. The 50Mb service is a great one imo and I want it to stay that way.

Re: 50Mb user claims FUP invoked
 

And then when everyone does that nonsense they all get letters asking if they can set their alarm clocks and start them at 3am in the morning. then if at all possible just browse the web and read your emails at all other hours.
