Telewest/Virgin issue

Has anybody had any issues with Virgin with regards to newshosting
downloads?

I have been limited to less than 20kbps for the last 3 days 24/7. I
dont consider myself to be a huge downloader, about 25GB a month so I
am not too happy about this.

I know that it is not newshosting, it has to be Virgin. Anyway, I was
just wondering if anybody else in the Liverpool area has been hit hard
this weekend and also, am I right in thinking that it should be full
speed off peak, this doesnt seem to be the case for me.

Sounds like customers should tell them where to stick their accounts
with their damned throttling.

If only people would do this instead of talking about doing it then
the useless company may do something about their RIPOFF
throttling of a service that was and still is advertised as being
UNLIMITED .

I had to laugh when I heard that they're bringin out 20MB in June.
I know what you're gonna say...
"They can't supply the bloody 10 they sell as it is!!"

They where incapable of supplying 4Mb between 4 PM and midnight when I
have an account with them and I just cannot understand why Branston
had to get himself entangled with that shower of Shite .

It appears to be so that he can have some kind of personal fight with
James Murdoch at BSkyB

Not aware of any issues, but feel free to drop me some more details
(please include your account number) and I shall get someone to look
into this further.
