Nice too see your happy to ruins peoples life because you don't like something, P2P is not illegal I agree downloading something you don't have the rights too is wrong but you have no right to ruin peoples lives because you have an issue with it.

I hope you can sleep at night knowing you could get people in alot a trouble which could see them been sent down or fined.

Only the music and film industries conduct copyright theft, the rest of us just infringe.

Oh no you're right and I should treat all Criminals this way - Tell the judges to go home, Let's all have this attitude!

Yes I can sleep very safe and sound thank you. They choose to do this so they risk ruining their own lives.. And you say it's not illegal but then say it "could see them been sent down or fined" but if it's not illegal then there is no repucussions.

So which is it?

Anyway ill stop now - seems you can all talk about P2P but I cant LOL

And now they have half production as the demand wasnt anywhere near what they expected.

The apple always falls off the tree.

Apparently down freom 300,000 to 150,000 a day for the 5c and S

Anyway back on topic, Has anyone in the south wales area got this new STM? It seems to still be on the old one here. Just asking!

I believe BT can now claim they are faster than BT FTTC because even with STM at full they are 20 above what BT can provide in general.. for now..

Edit @ 8:49PM Well it seems we now have it in Cardiff BUT I am getting 98.5mbps! once it was 72 but I saw someone got 70 - so is this the way it is? They can't ven throttle properly?

I don't really understand that. I think the statement you are trying to make is that Bt Infinity is higher than the national average which in turn will inflate BT's average as a whole. I think it is a move in the right direction because it feels like everyone has been stuck on adsl for the last decade and dialup for years before that and it has been causing the internet to drag. Establishing a minimum standard and getting everyone onto fiber and 30mbit minimum can only be s good thing. Hopefully in the not too distant future when 200mbit comes out we'll see the tiers realigned to 50, 100 and 200. BT should be able to match it by then and having a national minimum standard of 50mbits would be awesome.

Openreach will be rolling out 100mbps by the end of next year. Let them get the FTTC rollout finished first.

You're making huge assumptions, yourself. You're assuming a lot about people simply because they use P2P. Guilty until proven innocent, right?

So tell me how we can't possibly know if it's your business or not, but you know if something we're doing is your business? Hypocritical much?

By all means, enlighten us as to what your business actually is, then.

I love that you're calling someone out on their intelligence, yet you're apparently incapable of using a spell checker or writing a simple sentence that makes sense. Honestly, what are you going on about here?
