This take the utter PISS ! fook sake, think we should all just reduce out package to the 2meg line... fk sake, all were gonna get anyway !
What is the point paying a premium for speed, to have the speed capped down to nothing ! Don't want 20meg for checking email now do we.

I have got used to the capping, although I still think they cap you between 10am and 3pm as I have been capped between that time.
I usually D/L after 9pm and in the mornings before 10am. I do think its wrong though that you pay for an umlimited package that is limited at times.
I am on 10mb and have no intentions at the minute to increase.

They are also going to start on the torrent users soon...
At the launch of Virgin Media's 50Mbit/s service in December, CEO Neil Berkett told The Register the firm plans to introduce application-specific restrictions this year to target BitTorrent users. Such a move would mark a significant departure from its current policy of application-agnostic throttling.
A company spokesman subsequently denied the plans to Wired, and then denied having denied it when The Register inquired what part of what his boss told us wasn't true. ®

I got 20meg broadband, been a waste really considering Ive been away from home for 2 years but comes in handy at weekends. Ive not noticed capping but do notice no net access for 5 mins or so twice a day. If they start introducing capping and I suffer then they can kiss my services goodbye. Cheeky f**ks

Cloned modems will still be able to avoid these new STM measures

Only 50mb is using docsis 3 atm, It seems as if they will be using the new STM on the current DOCSIS 1/2 network.
