Funny that, VM putting the needs of the many before the needs of the few...
Also, if you are computer savvy, you will know that just having an antivirus program is not sufficient..

Lets put this in a different context.. We are going to ban all religions because some people use these religions to start wars.. can you imagine what would happen if a company said that.. its no different.

It's very different. You are comparing restricting someone's way of life (and religion *is* a way of life for a lot of people) with asking someone to rename or zip a file. You need some perspective.

Also all those users who say "Rename it or compress it" Technically this is a breach of the T&C's so could get your e-mail account suspended...
|
How on earth is that a breach of Ts&Cs? It's certainly no more of a breach of Ts&Cs than distributing copyrighted material via email (drivers are copyrighted).

Flame me all you want because I am a "savvy" user but remember that when you have to pay £200 for someone to come out and fix a driver problem that I could do for free before!
|
You can do it for free now...

If vm wanted to improve the webmail service they could have done this by adding an alert everytime you try to attach or download an attachment which is risky.. but no that would be too easy.. This is simply a cost cutting measure by farming out the e-mail to Google and will it reduce the cost of my package.. not b***dy likely instead it will just make some shareholders richer...
|
This doesn't just affect webmail, and even if it did, people can (and do) ignore alerts. You should know that if you have ever done any tech support.
Also, what's wrong with vm trying to cut costs? The shareholders are the ones who risked a lot to help VM deal with £17bn of debt..

As I understand it, FibreCity are not (and won't be) selling internet access direct to the end user. They will allow other ISPs to sell their bandwidth (much like BT OpenReach does).
Those ISPs will, of course, have their own Ts&Cs which, again, probably won't be too dissimilar to VMs...
