it's going to be causing deaths soon, people up all night to do something then
drive to work in the morning no sleep and totally knackered,

fall to sleep at the wheel, or work with machinary and get someone hurt real good.
i can see it now, cannot wait for the real media to grow a pair and report this story.
'nurse' downloads, 'cause deaths' - my personal opinion is that your issues transcend the thread, I'm ceasing to reply to such ridiculous concepts, if you cannot set your downloads to 'safely' execute at this time of night, you have problems that, imo, Virgin Media are never going to be able to help you with.....

(I had NO problems when it was NTL). I and everyone else in this area is LIMITED to 750MBs between 4.00pm and 12.00am. Considering I work 6.00am - 6.00pm this only gives me less than 6hrs full bandwidth for downloading if I don't turn my PC off when I go to bed. To put it in a nutshell I can download ONE CD when I get home and if I wish to download anything else my PC HAS to be on 24 hrs. That doesn't include the slow browsing in the time I have left when the STM kicks in.
So you cannot download anything, now ?

Glad i got rid of them as i knew this was going to be rolled out nationally.

I think someone hit the nail on the head earlier when they said (on another forum) VM are turning into another tiscali, only more expensive.
In other words you have nothing to add to the debate ?
