Re: ASA points out to Virgin Media that latency is not download speed
That might explain how bad my gaming was when I took the 50 service.
Only reason i upgraded was for gaming,hence my dropping it after a year of poor gaming service

Re: ASA points out to Virgin Media that latency is not download speed
Six friends of mine have now got out of a 12 month contract with VM because of this(they are gamers)
Well done ASA....hold on..why is this not on the Home page where we see the new news?

Re: ASA points out to Virgin Media that latency is not download speed
Well as there are 4 articles from the 19th, this is genuine news concerning VM and was pointed out to the site at least a couple of days ago and still isn't there I can only assume it doesn't meet the site's editorial guidelines.

A well-reasoned answer, but not the right one.
The truth is, I have a massive backlog of news items that I have started clearing this week. The ones dated 19th October on our news page are stories that broke throughout the first half of this month. In the next day or three I'll manage to get all the rest of them up.
However: All the items I post up are based on my daily Google news email subscription which is based on the keywords 'Virgin Media'. So the ASA story would have to have been covered elsewhere before I would spot it and be in a position to add it here. Obviously there is a thread on it here now, which means I'm aware of the story and can write something up for it even if I don't find anything on it as I go through my emails.
But in future, if you ever find there's a story missing from our news pages, the reason will be some combination of the factors above, not a decision that it fails to meet our editorial guidelines ... not least because we don't have any editorial guidelines, other than that the story needs to be directly relevant to VM or its industry.
HTH.

Aargh ok I admit it, I've been stuffing them under my mattress in the hope they'll go away, I'm such a VM fanboy I can't bear to write anything bad about them.

TBH I didn't expect it to be. I thought you were going to say that whoever it is that put up all the news stories was ill but thought I may as well suggest what the various hinters have been getting at

Perhaps because he has a day job, and writes the articles in his spare time (family commitments permitting)......
