Re: Anyone actually been cut off/restricted because of the Detrimental Usage?

I've seen a quote from a virgin employee on there own board who says they contact users who on average download 350GB in 28 day periods. I dont know how if this has changed as that information was posted late december.

That works out at about 12.5GB per day on average. Ok so in some cases that will be more bandwidth, but also less in others. If thats true and is still Vrigins official unofficial figure before sending out these letters thats HALF of the bandwidth that a 30MB user can do before they are speed managed (with no probably threat of these letters).

12.5GB per day, that can be 30 mins downloading or under 2 hours of HD streaming. Are Virgin seriously expecting thats a FUP that should be accepted by all (on average) 50MB customers who like to do some downloading and streaming?.

And Virgin staff and employees say thats covered in there terms and policy as fair use for 50MB customers?. To me thats certainly a detremental restriction of a customers connection on 50MB.
