As much as I agree with you mate this isn't going to change things because Virgin will just say you don't have a cap each which if you go over you are cut off or charge which to them means you can download as such as you want just at a slower speed than what your paying for thus UNLIMITED very clever for Virgin Media and other ISP's as they can throttle your bandwidth but as long as they don't have a monthly cap they can be called UNLIMITED, if only the UK government made the ruling like in USA where Comcast was ordered to allow P2P traffic not be singled out and throttled

i have all my torrent apps to schedule speeds and downloads, i'm uneffected 99% of the times. i download bulk overnight, schedule stuff, make full use of the 3pm-4pm window where ther'es no STM. it's easy really, you don't hear me whining about it non stop.
btw, the check the bandwidth graph in your signature, that's me burning up your line  |
Fair enough but what about the families that all want to use the connection but then they hit the limit because of legal things i/e i player,YouTube,xbox demos it all adds up, I myself don't really get affected by STM well not at the moment as I am on 50Mb , but I can see why people are annoyed, but if VM stm doesn't bother you then that's fine enjoy your connection just don't critise other people beause they would like the speed they pay for
