The network gets unstable and more people have problems as a result of your actions. Thank you very much indeed kind sir. You may have won your court case but you fluffed the network up for the vast majority of users who have no problems at all.  |
You misunderstand what I am doing. I (and others joining the case) are saying that repayment must be made for service not delivered. If someone is on an unlimited package and receives less than that (because VM unilaterally take it away) then that someone should receive a quid-pro-quo rebate. If someone wants to download movies from China all day every day, then that's between them and their supplier. I agree that greedy users should face penalties but regular users should not suffer as a result - which is precisely what is happening.
Simply put, Virgin Media should not be selling in a way that overloads the technology they have available - locally, regionally or nationally. If they sell something they cannot deliver then that is fraud. I, and others like me, do not want to be defrauded. I do not mind STM so long as it is reasonable and aimed at those continuously overloading the system to excess.
Oh, and why should normal users pay for the excesses of others?
