I have had my bandwidth reduced when downloading a Linux distro during their *peak* period. No problem really as they did warn that it might happen.:)

No, I have had nothing but good reliable service from Virgin, as I've said so before on this forum.

It was a rap over knuckles about advertised versus delivered broadband, but it hasn't deterred them and BPI from the following :

No distinction being drawn between one track or thousands so I guess there could be a lot of easy to persecute, 'little guy' cases, as per US state 'video piracy' cases ?

I got the impression from the news that it was dial-up?

Half the conversation (on the tv) revolved around the use of 'upto' and Virgin Cable Broadband is the only supplier I know of which does supply 'upto'. i.e. you pay for 10Mbps and upto your usage cap you get 10Mbps.
