True the chances are that the connection is being used to infringe copyright as there are few legitimate home uses for such a product but then again if there are few legitimate uses for such a product why is it being sold?

As it happens I know of at least one 100% legitimate way to completely max out the downstream on 100Mbps without the need to invest in a disk farm or anything more sophisticated than a fairly mediocre desktop.
Nothing new in that. The network falls over every time they upgrade the service. Then over the ensueing months, maybe years even, they slowly get it fixed till most subs can get the speeds they are paying for.....and then......a new upgrade comes along..........and the whole damn cycle starts again.

They have only got away with it because until recently they were the only game in town. Now that this is no longer the case, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for VM in the coming months.
