Where I have a problem is when someone asks for assistance in resolving a problem, or requests information regarding some aspect of their VM service and I know for a fact that I can predict that a large percentage of the negative content of the next few posts will a) come from a small minority of users, b) contain nothing (or little) of any help to the OP, and c) will mostly be the same stuff that's trotted out by that minority at every opportunity.

People come here for help, not for biased opinions one way or the other - when that help is constantly sidelined by people who have nothing better to do than bad-mouth one service provider or another it detracts from the overall focus of the forum.

If people want to rant about/express their dissapointment with VM or anybody else then they are invited to start their own thread for that purpose. Anybody continuing to derail other people's requests for help is likely to find themself sitting on the proverbial naughty step in fairly short order

Now then.....back on-topic please
What difference does it make if negativity comes from a majority or a small minority? (Or what you claim is a minority...). Are opinions from minorities not welcome or valid?

You said it yourself, the OP had their problem solved, so nobody is putting anyone's help on the sideline or derailing anything. And just because an opinion is negative doesn't mean it's biased.. And why do you assume negative people have nothing better to do? That's pretty presumptuous isn't it? Could it be that YOU are biased?

Re: speed

This is a topic-based discussion forum. We DO NOT permit every single thread that mentions Virgin Media download speeds to turn into just another rant about STM, congestion etc etc etc.

Consider this a final warning: the next off topic, arguing or otherwise disruptive post will be dealt with severely.
