It's not all OK, admittedly, but people are going way over the top about this. Sorry - I was a little harsh!

At the risk of sounding sarcastic again. they are reducing the speeds by the throttling thing they're doing. yours and others might not have gone down, but is that because you're not throttled yet, or because you have not hit the limit where you would? everyone will be throttled when they reach the limit.

The thing is not everyone is going to hit the limit, therefore not everyone's speeds are going to go down.

How do we know that these people will find out? Not all of them will notice the difference between 20meg and 5 meg, my parent's didn't notice between 20meg and 10meg!

when they do eventually find out they might approve, and they might not. but we do know that everyone is entitled to their opinion

Hear hear. Opinions are everything and I can appreciate others point of view - but it's not a scandal, its not an outrage, its a speed limit for those of us who download quite a lot.
I'm sticking by my opinion. It seems so many on these forums are on a strict hate campaign against Virgin that there is no converting them to seeing the other side of the argument.
