Would cost Virgin too much money. A number of people with low usage who are presently paying 20 quid a month go onto the new tier and pay less.
VM also claim to be unable to offer us a facility to track our usage - this would be absolutely required with a metered tariff.
Not going to happen, would cost VM money, people would complain like crazy, just look at the fallout from the Time Warner trials.

You're off ignore, but VM have plenty enough spokespeople and PR men without you joining in. Suggest you look at a couple of recent posts by other members of staff, both helpful, informative, yet accepting of criticism and not deeply up the company's backside. Appreciate the assistance you provide here, unsure if it's necessary to be putting down
your customers because they disagree with or give criticism to your employer, you come across as a VM spokesperson at times.

That won't help, the VM<>BBC bandwidth isn't the issue it's from the edge of VM's network to the customer's cable modem that's the issue.
