why are they bothering to increase speeds if their is nothing to use it on?
i've posted this so many times but no-one seems to actually think sane.

say virgin offer 10mbit great if they offer 20mb even better or is it?
if the only reason you want broadband and 99.9% of the reason is downloading
then this is bad, because their basically coaxing you more and more to download.

if i had a 1mb connection and no legal services out their allowed me to download
and i found content elsewhere i'd be hmm its going to take ages and ages to get it.
so i'd probably give up, but give me a way to get it in 5-10 mins or less hell im for it.

virgin want us to all stop using their services for downloading content.
even though that is all the 99.9 of customers have fast Internet in the first place.
but instead of making it harder and harder for customers they are doing the other.

why in hell would they keep increasing speeds to make people want to download
and on the other hand still to this day not offer a valid service to download from.
instead because they dont provide that service, you find your own they get anoyed
and now start to sending warning letters.

what do they expect people who's getting faster and faster connections to do?

if we cant or they don't want us using bandwidth or downloading why on gods earth
do they keep increasing speeds? lol makes no sense not 1 little bit.
