Hi,
I am a virgin media customer with a 10Mbps conection.
Every time I use Utorrent to download stuff, my conection drops to 2Mbps, even after i have closed the program completely.
This happens every time consistantly.
My speed is currently measuring at 2Mbps and I closed uTorrent an hour ago, and when it was downloading it was only at 20Kbps.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Does virgin media have a policy of penalising torrent users regardless of their bandwidth usage?
I am assuming its a technical problem at my end for now, as the virgin media saleman told me specifically that my bandwidth wouldnt be throttled unless I used more than 20Gb a week, and i wouldnt like to think that Virgin media staff lied to me on purpose just to get a sale.
