Sorry but I dont accept this treatment for heavy downloaders.
If an isp sells a product described as unlimited then they have to accept some people will use their connection heavily, if the isp doesnt want this then they should sell a limited broadband service only.
As for thinking if they dump the heavy users it will fix things it wont, proven by plusnet and some other isps the heaviest users are an easy scapegoat but are not to blame, sheer customer numbers is.

Then maybe VM needs to start making people pay for there service instead of giving it away to everyone that says they are going to leave. I know one person who only pays 4.99 a month for 20 meg because they blagged a "i will leave" reduction.
Everyday you read on this forum how so and so got this reduction because they said they would leave, We all know its a blag just to get a reduction.
Virgin needs to make the blagger's pay the full price instead of playing to there lies.
So before you have a go at me who pays for his service, Start with the blaggers and cloner's. |
I agree, the people VM should target first are cloners and people on discounts for non technical reasons. After that they should stop over subscribing areas, over subscription does not mean heavy downloaders it means over contention aka too many customers for the equipment. During peak hours heavy downloaders are likely only a minority of total traffic used.
