one other thing.......
what on earth do you guys download that gets your bandwidth throttled? |
Sounds great if I wasn't tied down to contract and according to another forum member, thats got Traffic Management too... Im humoured by the 'professional moaner' label too. I know myself, takes alot to write a letter like that, then again, its rarely you come across such unscrumpulous companys.
And really I just can't understand how anyone can defend the practice, even your question about what I download, says it all... first of all its not your business, secondly the assumption that all heavy users are engaged in illegal file sharing is labelling in the highest order. How many sites do you know, where you pay a fee and download, films, music etc?? I know quite a few, in fact im signed up to quite a few and I choose a package to facilitate its usage. Yes I did it because its cheaper than HMV and more conveniant... but its not illegal. Plus you don't see at all, its not about what you use your connection for, its about what your offered, how your sold. Don't tell me that Virgin Media aren't actively seeking 'heavy users' with bold titles of UNLIMITED broadband?? They want a user that downloads lots... there's a market for those people and they went for it. But my objection is not the Traffic Management Policy, its the way in which it was falsley advertised and the fact that I pay hard earned money for a 25% service.
You cannot defend the indefensible, you can only fail to see a blindingly obvious argument.
