The old days were definatly the best time for this company.. now they have a big head and a severe lack of knowing what the customer wants.
Mabey they should have IQ tested people before they installed cable into peoples homes. atleast the network would have had less people on it.
Id be happy to pay 50 quid a month if it was a SOLID guarenteed connection with no cappage etc..
I recon they need to give customers that option. or atleast have the option for customers to phone up and say "look il pay 50 quid a month if u give me no cappage and no restrictions" and have some sort of a dedicated route or something for it.

BUT the thing is (and i know its been said & done before, but this IS relevant!) they are already selling their broadband as "unlimited" even though it'd take a retarded pea to see right through that lie, why should anyone have to pay more (or an extra premium) for what they are advertising?
If they cannot provide UNLIMITED broadband (and we all know they CANNOT) why oh why are they still being allowed to sell & advertise it as UNLIMITED??
Some might counter with "well they dont cut your connection when you go over x amount of MB's or GB's" the answer to that is, no they dont do that, but they DO LIMIT your speed, which means that they have limited what you can download/upload, as if they didnt have this stupid STM business, then say I wanted to download 100GB (I hardly do this in 2 months yet alone a day, but will use this for my example) of music & films in 1 day, I'd be chugging along, when suddenly BLAM!!! internet speed is CUT DOWN to a lower speed, thus not only limiting my speeds, but also limiting how much I can download..
Now argue all you want, but the facts are there, bold as brass, Virgin Media ARE LIMITING my speed, no if's, no buts' they ARE doing this, so its a bit hippocritical of them (not to mention falsely advertising a lie) to be doing this.
Another example of how Virgin Media can get away with breaking the law AND making themselves look good in the process!!
