I'm sure they think they've been very clever by giving with one hand (20Mbs) to catch the headlines and then sneakily taking away with the other hand (Throttling) because they recognise their networks are not capable of the service they offer.

I would say the one advantage is that now as Virgin Media there is a clear figurehead such as Richard Branson that any campaign could target. But it needs to be something different to capture the imagination of the press and to get Sir Richard truly cringing to be associated with the campaign mounted bu his very own customers.

An easy, although not inventive start is a carefully thought out and worded online petition.
