Re: New Virgin traffic managent - so that's why it's slow!

VM have completely lost the plot with the original customer base be it NTL TW etc. However I have had a good result for a month. They've knocked £9.00 off my monthly bill if I stay with them for the next month (Discount permanent!)

Could be because I sent them an email threatening to leave because of STM and they were in breech of the original T's&C's

They have been told and accepted that if the service doesn't improve in the next 30 days I'm off to a new ISP.

If I stay with them (if they improve) I can keep the £9.00 discount.
Does that mean that all the years I've been with my cable company (ninex,c&W ntl,VM) I've been overcharged?


I've NEVER had a problem until VM took over and I've always paid for the premium service.

They are on a 30 day countdown!

As for your complaint about STM, it is in the small print and you agreed with it when you signed up.
I seem to remember an actress by the name of Uma Thurman saying someting like "You can download me as many times as you want" but I could be wrong! Having said that she did NOT say it would mean that my B/W would be throttled!
