V Stuff

sixfoottwo · 12-11-2011, 12:14

This does not appear to be uploading any files on any of my laptops at home. Anyone any idea what the problem is?

Not used it myself, but I've heard that the V-Stuff thing is actually quite abysmal. There are better online storage services available, some even free, and all of which offer much larger capacities.

Larger than unlimited?

Milambar · 12-11-2011, 16:19

Ahh, so the ISP definition of "unlimited" is 10GB. Gotcha.

I am well aware that different packages get different limits. However the OP never posted which package hes on.

Nopanic · 12-11-2011, 16:35

Edited your post there ...

What relevance is size to the ops post?

I replied to you.

Milambar · 12-11-2011, 17:00

Perhaps the fact that you said its "unlimited" when its actually package dependant. Especially considering the fact that the OP never said what package he was on.

It is not unlimited at all. It varies depending on your package.

Also, the relevance to the OP's post, was simply that v-stuff has been slated many times in the past as being abysmal, often on these very forums, and that perhaps he should look into the offerings of some other online storage services which may suit his needs better.

I don't believe I broke any forum rules by this, espcially since I did not name any of them, therefore was not advertising. However, if I did break a rule by suggesting he look at VM's competetors, I'd like a moderator to confirm that.

wtf are you going on about ?

Milambar · 12-11-2011, 17:25

Well, I assume your original post was because I dared suggest that there are perhaps other companies which offered similar services, also for free, which might be better suited to the OPs needs, mostly because v-stuff has a reputation for being slow, and inefficient, and difficult to use.

A thread in which you yourself said it doesn't suite everyone.

You also asked, and I quote, "Larger then unlimited?", except v-stuff is not unlimited, is it.

Virgins very own website, which seems to be somewhat inaccurate, does not say "unlimited" anywhere.

So, I ask you, is 10GB, as shown by Virgins website, the ISP definition of unlimited, because it says quite clearly on the overview page, 20/30mbit: 5GB, 50/100mbit: 10GB.

Nopanic · 12-11-2011, 17:49

Ok .. Overreact much ..

Quite clearly ? Where's does it say 50/100 get 10GB

Screenshotted for you..

sixfoottwo · 12-11-2011, 17:59

Anyone know the answer to my original question? My total storage does amount at the moment to over 57GB on XXL VIP.

Nopanic · 12-11-2011, 18:02

Nicely faked.

To op no, without seeing your account we can't help.

Milambar · 12-11-2011, 18:04

Except its not faked. Wanna go teamviewer to see for yourself?

And that is a personal attack on my integrity, sorry.

If any forum rules had been broken, the offender would be notified.

Point of information - if I click in the my.virginmedia.com link above your screenshot, I get something different, which shows Storage allowances of
M&L = 5GB,
XL = 10GB,
XXL/100 = Unlimited.
