Petition

[Samurai]

Hi All,

Recently just put up a petition for those of us in the UK who are fed up with the capped services we are constantly being told to 'like it or lump it'.

Hopefully, with enough signatures, I can forward this on to the ISP's and fingers-crossed, make a difference.

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/fcuk/petition.html

You don't have to be from the UK to sign, and if you're not and decide to leave a comment, would you be as so kind to leave a note where you're from.



Thank you in advance!

Didn't think it got viewed enough ;)

However, once I reach 500 signatures, and yes it is possible, just look at our registered users... I'll pick 2 who will be given a choice of a DVD / PC Game of their choice which I'll purchase nearer the time.

Sound exciting now? :01:

The comments of the signatories just made me laugh:

You've got an 8Mb/s link? :blink:

It's theoretical, ukonline have just started an 8mb service, the post is in internet world.

i thought it would be good to go from a gamers perspective, i dont think a filesharing platform is a good place to shout from. an example: on bt broadband now you'd get 2 hours gameplay a month :dry:

I know. Just wanted my friends on here to sign up first. Going to move to some UK gamers in the next hour.

Hence the external petition site, and not links from this forum. Many users on here are quite passionate about this situation, not least myself.

[TheDave]

should we restrt this?

I bet it's that Withcheese from number 48, he always looks like he's up to no good :shifty:

[Samurai]

Ok. Who is Number 10. 'fess up, and your sins will be forgiven.

[TheDave]

i have a plan. if george w bush signed it, tony blair would do his utmost to make caps illegal :shifty:

[Samurai]

good idea. i'll wander into the whithouse to have a chat with the ol' man himself tomorrow

[TheDave]

your father is George Bush? talk about your Luke Skywalker syndrome

[Cheese]

I believe the reason their service, Uk Online, is so cheap is the cap.

Blueyonder's service is unlimited with 4mb speed by Jan 2005 (from 3mb) and 50 quid a month.

You pay 40 quid for that speed you get a crap cap.

[TheDave]

supanet = 1024/256 @ 22.96 un capped

[Mathea]

ill sign it if i can borrow someones address so it looks like im in england....

[enoughfakefiles]

I`m glad some famous people signed it. :lol: :lol:

http://img68.exs.cx/img68/7520/Untitled-1copy103.jpg

I`m on NTL broad band which i dont think is capped because there was uproar when they tried to cap it.For the people who do have it capped what do they cap it at and how does it affect you when you reach your limit.Also if you don`t reach your download limit do they add that on the next month or day.???? :ph34r:

[Samurai]

NTL is infact capped, because they were my last ISP and was one of the reasons why I left them. If they have not changed the TOS, then it'll be 1GB dl/up p/day.

I suggest you read your TOS if you didn't realise there's a cap, and no they don't 'rollover' your unused bandwidth... they're not t-mobile!

[Samurai]

And thanks very much to those who contributed their PATHETIC, CHILDISH comments. I hope you feel proud that you've just fucked up somebody's work. Fucking morons. It's people like you who I'd really love to meet in the street. I bet the same people who posted these comments are 16 year old spotted pricks, who haven't had a girlfriend and feel it's macho to try and gain friends online at the expense of others.

I don't like using the word 'cunt' but I can't think of no better word to describe you fuckwits. I hope you fucking get run over tomorrow, you pieces of shit.

erm sounds like ur the moron, considering u posted here, in the lounge.... thinking that it would get serious mature replies..... have you ever read a thread in the lounge before? :lol:

[DanB]

I didnt take the piss :dry:

[TheDave]

ii think i may start one and circulate it on gaming forums. but i'm kinda lazy:unsure:

[Samurai]

So by posting it in the Lounge is an excuse for this sort of behaviour.

Ok, just fucking remember that one, because I will.

[Cheese]

Online petitions mean exactly jack.

I'd like to see one such petition that has ever made a real world difference. I think the most successful petition on that site was when Maddox linked to it on a petition to have his own site closed down.

[Mathea]

if that was an attempt at a threat its a poor one.... becuase everyone else seems to know that if you want to discuss something serious this is not the place to do it. also they dont get all bent out of shape about it


i hope u do remember it so we dont hear you whine next time

[TheDave]

maybe we should all just get the rare ones like supanet. the way to make businesses seee sense is to take away there money.. simple and effective

Yeah, the businesses don't listen to online petitions they listen to want the customer does. If everyone goes to uncapped services then ISP's who do cap might take notice. (At least more notice than a petition...)

16 year old spotted prick, sounds like an ornithology term :huh:

I do hope we haven't scared this dickhead away from the lounge. As the first poster of the PATHETIC CHILDISH comments I would like the opportunity to further interact with this social genius.

A 14 signature internet petition would surely have sorted the bandwidth cap issue out right away. Tis a shame.

So it's fine for people to do what they have done, or is this because you yourself were involved? Somehow I think you would react differently if the tables were turned.

[Mathea]

now, i can think of plenty of things to say about manker that are rude, some even downright mean....


but you are doing very well here... because manker isnt stupid enough to take any of this shit seriously... and he wouldnt piss and moan forever about it either

[Rick Phlegm]

Yeah, I'd be pissed if somebody screwed up my free petition.

5 minutes of work down the drain. :angry:

[manker]

It is fine for people to do what they did. You're upset, I'm amused. Which is more important.

Indeed. I'm off to start a petition to cure world hunger.

I'm sure 12 signatures'll do it.

[Samurai]

See - it's people like you who don't give a shit about other people who will become unstuck. I was trying to do a good thing. Trying to do something for people who are unhappy with the situation. Nice to know how much consideration you actually give others eh? Or maybe it's none of your concern because you're from New York and don't actually give a shit how other countries apart from the good ol' US of A are affected.

[Cheese]

I'm gonna start a petition against my inevitable hangover tomorrow.

[Mathea]

Indeed. I'm off to start a petition to cure world hunger.

hell, ill sign it three times.... just doing my part n all

Here's hoping the Pope and David Dickinson also provide their special endorsements.

@Samurai: You're thinking maybe 15 signatures? :huh:
