If Virgin are so superior perhaps they would be good enough to remove the traffic shaping and throttling from their network, as surely being so superior they cope without it?

Failing that if they are assured of their superiority why don't they have a rate guarantee as another cable company do?

What is Com Hem Rate Guarantee?
In Com Hem, you always get the broadband speed you pay for.

To ensure that you, the Com Hem customer really know what speed you would expect, we have introduced a clearer labeling. The label shows the minimum and maximum speed for each broadband when you have a wired connection between your modem and computer. Test us on the independent site Bredbandskollen.se. If we do not live up to our promise, you only have to pay for the lower speed instead. We call it Speed ​​Warranty.
No 'up to', a maximum and a minimum.

I do hope you're getting paid for spreading the good word on here.

Yup this is what they all do.

Bit optimistic hoping people will actually read the adjudication. The usual suspects with tongues in Virgin Media's orifices will say it's all grossly unfair, the usual people who loathe the company will say that it's great and proves their point that they murder babies.

The adjudication itself is perfectly sensible on all points. Whatever the fundamental message and its validity it was lost in hyperbole and mud slinging.
