Virgin Media 1Mbps Broadband Package 14.99 GBP

Hi All,

I am moving house and am looking a a broadband provider in the UK.

Virgin Media provide a 1Mbps package with no caps or limits for £14.99
GBP per month.

More details at:
http://www.virgin.net/allyours/broadband/unlimited/

Can anyone vouch for this provider? The problem I have experienced
before (mainly Tiscali) is blocking Torrents through BitTorrent. Can
anyone say that Virgin Media do not do this?

I also need access to SSH, does anyone use SSH on Virgin??

Any thoughts appreciated.

The Virgin Media unlimited, is subject to fair use. There's a lot of
people complaining about slow speeds on their ADSL packages, presumably
as a result of their overloaded centrals.

Their cable service can however be very good - so do not confuse the
ratings on the site.

I've specifically asked and been told that's *NOT* the case.

What's not the case?
Their is no 'fair use policy' or it's not unlimited?
Either one, they're both lies.

Some people tend to believe the sun shines out of VM's arse
people like ourselves who have had experience of their lies and deceit
know different .

If you click on join and then "new customer", it says there is an AUP

An AUP need not interfere with Bittorrent, I run it and/or eD2k 16 hours
day and UKOnline have never bothered me. If you seed to 100% you're
limited, in the long-term, by your upload speed.

I've not heard of anyone blocking ssh.

Come up here and live in Preston, Bolton ,Wigan especially Wigan and
say this .
I had a 4Mb connection oh yes I got top speed nearly every single day
between around 00.30 and 16.00/16.30 then the speed dropped like a
stone sometimes down to less than 56k.
And do you know the cause !! I'll tell ye Blueyonder has it was called
then was deliberately throttling customers connections and they where
emphatically denying they where doing so until " The register"exposed
the fact that they where doing so . I do not like being lied to by
anyone especially by some scumbag company that I am paying good money
to every sodding month. My account was closed within days of " The
Register" reveling the truth about what was taking place .
