If you live in certain parts of London, where the virgin broadband service saturation is high, Virgin limit your usage to 400mb a day. If you go over that, they drop your speed down to 'trickle'.
This is to insure a fair service for everyone apparently. :blink:

Mother of all broadband. Bollocks. :snooty:

We get limited, but it's like if you go over 3 GB, the speed goes down to 5Mb between 1800 and 2100 or something like that.

I complained but it was just for a laugh. I like to keep them on their toes.

If they're not giving you the full internets.

We want our money back.

I like to abuse my internets, I wouldn't stand for that. Some days I use upwards of 100GB.

I just complain because if one does it properly one can negotiate discounts.

I complained about a few things and cancelled my Direct Debit I now pay via the gift of online banking.

When I did this and even after paying the £5 they charge for not using Direct Debit I'm paying about £30/month less.

True Story.

Ha, you didn't write True Story.

I did call up my company and badger them in to turning up the speed on my router until it broke. True story.

How could they turn up the speed of your router.

Piss off. The missus is a cheap prick, like Ben. She went with a company called Watch TV (for our interweb) to save money.

It's a line of site microwave service - it sucks bawls. I get about a half a meg down on average, ffs.
