Doesnt that defeat the object of Virgin Media supposedly being unlimited? We pay one of the highest costs for broadband around only for virgin to not half my speed but cut it by 3/4 of its stated speed.
How can they expect people to carry on paying £37 for 20mb only for it to be capped when they feel like it, when BE broadband are only charging £24 for 24mb down and 1.3 up (and yes I know you only get that if you live next door to the exchange)
Very tempting to go back to them. (Was getting 16mb, dont ask me why I left them!! I guess the temptation for 20mb got me) )
Not on!!!!
