Ditch em.
It will get worse with them, I use to have them, things got so bad with poor connection, traffic shaping, that I changed over to Be.
No restrictions, good speed and never yet received any warnings with regard to my heavy downloading.

| I'm guessing you're on about ADSL here. Cable has had the traffic shaping for a while, only ever had it applied once though. Speed is rock solid and I'll be going from 4 Mb to 10 Mb soonish for no extra money.
Please use tinyurl to reduce the size of links.
It makes a huge difference to those of us with tiny screens.

Makes no difference to me, Virgin takes your money each month, then you expect to have a proper service without any traffic shaping, dosen't matter whether its ADL or Cable.

heard about this a couple of weeks ago
its going downhill, once they switch the analogue signals off that will free up some of the network also the docsis 3 system will bring greater speeds and higher bandwidth capacity thus freeing up more space when users migrate to this new service

I really don't mind traffic shaping as long as it is done honestly.
If I pay for 10Mbps I expect to be able to get 10Mbps when not doing heavy downloading.
I expect to use spare bandwidth so that if at peak time I download 10GB then I expect it to be slow but if I download 10GB off peak then I don't want to be shaped after 1GB (which is what happens with NTL)
Basically, I'm fully aware that having an infra-structure that can cope with everybody's desires at 6pm and sit idle at 2am is not realistic for any business. I am also fully aware that companies over-subscribe. There is a balance between the two that can achieve decent profit margins and an acceptable service.

server+media: P4 2.8GHz @ 2.4GHz / 775Dual-VSTA / 2x512MB PC3200 / 1000GB+500GB+250GB / HD2400pro
also: P3 for the mrs and a linux box and probably enough bits to build another one
