You mean VM have been making me break the law by using their SuperHub up until now? Or did they have DFS working before, and have just nerfed that too? I suspect the latter, or many prosecutions would have been happening. OFCOM are not shy.
We've now gone from 18 channels down to just 4. That means VM have just stolen 78% of my 5Ghz channels by remote control. Why? Is this a punishment beating for wanting to be able to transfer data to my new NAS without locking up my Superhub?
It seems to me we have two options to resolve this. Either we take aggressive action against this bullying or we all apologise to VM for pressing them to fix the wireless crashes and beg them to un-nerf our routers, promising never to do it again. There's no point simply moaning on the forums as VM may decide to take 5Ghz away completely if we do that.
Option one requires some impressive community will power and cohesion though. I am willing to arrange some direct action if there is enough support in my area (I am experienced at this). Please PM me if you are willing to get together one Saturday and peacefully occupy the Southampton Centre VM shop with banners and the like. I shall provide full legal and best practice details to all if there are enough of the willing. Ideally we would need to get similar protests happening in other branches, though it need not be on the same day. A rolling protest would be just as good if not better.
If not enough people will go with this then I shall put together an apology letter and ask for as many to sign up as possible. We need to change their minds one way or another, it's fight or flight time folks.
