Say I am the only person in a village with virgin's internet, and I go over my LIMITS, how the hell can I be within the top 5%?
Virgin are just using this scamming technique so they can cram more people on the already well over-subscribed network, thus increasing their PROFITS while ripping customers off as they are in effect STEALING already paid for bandwidth, and as we all know, the more customers they cram on, the less speed we will get, and this is the ONLY reason why they are doing it.
Now anyone could just come back with "but they are constantly upgrading their network" answer: WRONG!!!
IF they are indeed constantly upgrading their network,then WHY are people STILL saying they have poor speeds?
Virgin IMO would NEVER do anything to help its customers, quite the contrary, they do EVERYTHING they can to screw us customers over, this is FACT!

Totally agree with you m8!
Hi all!! Newbie here
I got hooked up to VB's 20 meg service yesterday around 4pm. Getting 20.4meg downloads constantly, sometimes 21.5!!! Whow!! At 9pm I noticed some serious lag when beating people up on tekken online, when I had no lag minutes before!!
Speed test showed me at 5megs maximum
haha. I purposely downloaded huge files from virgin gamefiles to test this STM rubbish, as I heard some people get away with it, not me though, first day, 5meg cap! lol
Anyway, already have Be and get around 14 megs max, who do you think I'm gonna stay with, virgin won't have me past the trial period. The 20meg is a nice upgrade, but not worth the thieving of bandwidth from VB, and £37?? Damn! Prefer the £18 for Be.
