dont make me angry, you wont like me when I'm angry...

moving on.....

I got a flyer today from Virgin re their new deals and it said something like "unlike other broadband suppliers, the speed advertised is the speed you get cos unlike ADSL, cable is not affected by the distance from your exchange". As traffic shaping and congestion can affect the speed you get I think it's unfair to sell it on the web site as 'upto' but on flyers as 'what you see is what you get'.
