Hey..your back =)

Not hearsay or rubbish, posting sources gets people fired..but believe what you want, annie has never been wrong either with her sources

Never gone away :0)

Just waiting for you to publish you book of gossip and rumours. Reckon you'll make a fortune

Suggest you go to annies site and ask about her respectability and reliability with her sources, you'll soon find she is right as am i, but whatever go back to dw

Don't need to... Guess your trying to take some of the pressure of yourself.. By the way what was your job as a Virgin Media employee or were you a contractor?

Zanny · 23-04-2008, 19:33

Does any of this really matter seems like trolling to me. If you guys are having fun then go do it on your on thread.

For the record I believe TraxData im pretty sure if he was a known liar with 1000+ posts he'd have been banned by now. btw its "off" not "of" (the second of)

Zanny returns to his world of carm and peace.

So what your saying is as long as someone comes on here and posts some negative comment about Virgin Media they are welcome. Anyone who does post can post anything and not be asked to verify it or have their source questioned. Good reasoned debate then with only one side presented

usual stuff when it comes to large companies, someone leaks info. It gets discredited because they have no known proper source, the person discrediting them says this knowing full well the source cannot be revealed.

DO you really think a virgin emdia staff is goign to come out and say it? they woudl be fired within seconds, the way teh information gets otu is people know staff and they disclsoe it to them because they dnt liek what is happening. I havea source within virgin media but i cant disclsoe who or what department because they coudl be fired within minutes for givign otu commerical senstive information as they put it, so because i cant give you that information you would call me a liar to? because that the last thing i am if anything i am to honest at times

I've always been a fairly light user (~1G/day) who was able to do most of my downloading during off-peak times as I thought it was helping to spread the load.

From what VM are now saying with STM I don't need to do that, I just need to ensure I keep under the limits. So, that's what I'm likely to do. I'll install some monitoring software and use 99% of the STM capacity as much as I can.

That will probably mean me downloading more than 5 times what I normally do, but seeing as VM feel that's what I'm entitled too I feel I should be getting what I pay for.

I seem to be in the same boat Chicken, as you say it does make you think if your going to give me a quota on my "unlimited" service, Ill damm well use it.

I am a heavy user. I admit it. This month I think I've probably done about 250GB so far. I will not change my browsing or downloading habbits because of some stupid traffic management. If I am downloading huge amounts I do it anyway but I restrict the speed myself when STM'ed as to not affect browsing speeds. When STM finishes I ramp it back up to full speed. If nobody is using the connection I simply let it run at full speed.

I pay for 4Mbps unlimited, I intend to use it. Sometimes I download crap just because I can to annoy Virgin. It works both ways, annoy me, and I'll annoy you back. Its always been like that with me. Mock me all you like, I won't change.

I don't know you.You have hardly ever posted here.I know TraxData and he has given accurate info in the past.So I trust him and his sources.

Plus many a time I've defended VM/NTL from irate users because I think they are being unfair/unrealistic.However they don't always get everything right.In fact I've read some horrific stories of just how bad it can get especially with the billing,debt collecting and general poor customer service.

So until you have made any useful or helpful posts or actually produced any support for your belief I suggest that you won't get much support for your attacks on TraxData.

In fact I'm left wondering as to what your angle is in attacking TraxData and who you might actually be.

I must say i am cheesed off too and i load up my d/l newsgroups with 40gig of linux stuff every day after 9.00pm. I was told till your UBR falls over or gets enough complaints it wont get the upgrade and i have been waiting months only to find out it has been put back to september and is running STM trials....what chance do i have. Lets load it up 40gig every night
