Here we go...........
Me thinks Phorm kicked BT off the top spot. Is there a list of results within that catergory?

What? The real world being a survey that puts VM at the bottom? ;)

Well that site aint that good, I have tried to add a comment, where it says add the 2 numbers, I have tried this SEVEN (7) different times, but it will not let the coment go through as it comes up the error :"Sorry, it seems you didn't pass math!!"
GRR, how many people cannot add basic 2 numbers? or do they NOT want people to leave comments as they know that people will disagree with what has been said?

Maybe you didn't pass maths? - I tried it and it worked...

Where is your comment as the page says 'No comments yet'?
Ratings over here (http://www.thinkbroadband.com/isp/compare.html?isp_7=1&isp_21=1&isp_22=1&isp_23=1&isp_84=1&commit=Compare) suggest VM may be trustworthy but not necessarily reliable or good on customer service.

Which is the format you entered?
for 1 of the questions, it was: add 2 and 2 so I just entered the number 4, as 2+2 does = 4!
I tried another few times, with different answers, but no luck!
Even my girlfriend AND mother tried, with their own comments on the article, but it did not work for them either (we're all using Firefox)
Maybe it was because it did not like my comments, dont know why though, not like there was any foul language, just a few paragraphs and a weblink.
Oh well, I have emailed them with my problem and posted my comments too
Just entered a comment, worked fine. Using Firefox too.
Interestingly, I'm unable to see anyone elses comments, only my own. :erm:

Surely 4! = 24? :confused:
Well none of the articles have any comments available to view...

no, 2+2 IS 4, and this was 1 of the answers I entered (obviously different answer each time as it was a different question)
Oh well, they have my comments emailed to them now!

same here. perhaps that explains some of the confusion...
If this is correct then the article should be entitled "VM has most uninformed customers". Absolutely ludicrous.

No
But lets face it they are looking at selling there customers private surfing habits to a spyware company. That spyware company that has used hackers in the past. That spyware company that has infected millions of machines in the past. That spyware that has been testing that system illegally on the BT network. If VM are willing to work with **** like that what else are they capable of.
They are sending out letters to there customers about file sharing. To be honest i don't fully trust where and how they have collated that data.
How can anyone trust them if they do that. Sorry but lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut springs to my mind.
I have NO trust in any statement that they make as they have been seen to say one thing and do the opposite so MANY times.

I believe this was a maths joke, as 4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1.

Sorry to sound thick, but I really do not get it!
It said add 2 and 2 which 2 ADD 2 equals 4, if it said 2 AND 2, that would be 22!
what a **** up way of doing it, why not just use that system where you have to enter the letters?
Stupid **** lol

The BPI pay companies like MediaDefender to infiltrate torrent sites, harvest IP addresses from Trackers and report those IPs. They do similar things over file sharing networks like Gnutella and Limewire, except they actually connect to the sharers.
If they happen to score a Virgin Media IP, they give it to VM, along with file details. Person is added to the letter lottery.

You said: 2+2=4! in the post to which I replied.
4! (with the exclamation mark) is mathematical notation for 4 factorial, which is 4*3*2*1, (which is 24). Sorry, it was a bad joke :angel:
