Murray, whatever you do, don't post what I gifted to you. Duke might have a ****ing seizure or heart attack.

They don't throttle your download like on the 20 meg and lesser packages, But they do traffic shape from 5PM to Midnight on all packages. I thought steam traffic was also shaped.
 
loool...


They haven't rolled it out completely yet. So some users are still fine :). For those that are being shaped, I'm 100% certain they do it for at least NNTP and torrent traffic.

50mb on virgin isn't shaped, only if you have the 5mb upload do they throttle it back to 1.75mb with excessive usage...only on the upload though.
 
It is shaped from 5PM to midnight on weekdays and midday to midnight on weekends. There is just no debate here.


Here you go:
Virgin Media said:
File Sharing:

We also moderate the total volume of file sharing traffic on our network between 5pm and midnight on weekdays and midday and midnight on weekends. This policy, which applies to all broadband packages, is restricted to Peer to Peer (“P2P”) applications and Newsgroups (which are commonly used to distribute large amounts of data)
This policy does not impact any applications other than Peer to Peer and Newsgroups, so things like watching iPlayer, online gaming, making calls via Skype, downloading music tracks from iTunes or streaming them from Spotify and sending an email or normal browsing are unaffected.
It's important to remember that these traffic management policies only apply at peak times when speeds are most likely to be affected by people using more than their fair share. Outside of peak times we do not manage traffic.
