What major Â£1bn+ businesses doesn't have major debt?

Hell Trump who is estimated at being worth $10bn is just as much as that in debt from his constant building and projects, thinking that one day they will all pay off his debts within 5 years, but the problem is its like a drug and he will keep on building.

Wondered why the USA was in such an economical disaster, because banks were given billions away to those guys to **** up a wall >.<

Im just waiting for the new cable company to appear in the UK and watch a huge percentage jump ship from VM to them. Maybe then VM will wake up and notice you can't screw your customers, all this bandwith and new upload speeds and you can't use them fully... its a total joke.

Even funnier was the 100mb is going to be Â£37 per month with TV and Phone.... jesus, talk about grab grab grab when you can't even supply it to them efficiently >.<

plenty of major businesses dont have this levels of debt, its generally americans and some uk companies who have debt as standard practice. One reason is tax avoidance.

The 50Meg will bring in 25Meg uploads and the 100Meg will bring in 50Meg uploads (both non-traffic management)

These forums really need a nice "Don't Feed The Troll" smilie.

Back on topic, please.

I was downloading linux iso's last night, Firstly over bittorrent normal 1-2MB/s then I tried newsgroups at the same time and lo and behold they where also sitting around 1-2MB/s so in total 2-4MB/s. Just a little tip.

in my experience every port except 80(web) is throttled by default for 12hrs both sunday and saturday, logging into vps, irc and reading usenet is such a chore at the weekend. throttling someones service even before theyve downloaded anything is an appalling practice.

Can anyone confirm that VPN traffic is retarded? I use VPNs and RDP quite a bit and have noticed it being unusably slow lately. I was just going to post a support request on the support newsgroup when I read zer0's post.

I suppose they think people will be using paid VPN services to bypass P2P throttling. I can't work from home because RDP is so slow.

It does look like it. I've just downloaded a .net redist from Microsoft and achieved a heady 1.9 Mbps directly via my VM 20Mb connection.

Downloading the same file via my corporate vpn the transfer rate average is 310Kbps.

This is via vpn concentrator which has a 2GB/s link to the POP (the utilisation on the circuit is single figures at the moment). Even with a couple of firewalls and ISA in the path and the encryption overhead I wouldn't expect there to be that much difference. Be interesting what happens if I try this again after midnight
