Virgin Media Discussion Thread

The UK retentions team are based just down the road from me, and I know a couple of people who work there, time to ring up and complain I think.

I am sick and tired of the P2P management ruining my XBOX Live experience night after night.

So mine is getting installed today but this thread isn't fulling me with confidence, not looking forward to the usenet performance, might just have to run it though a VPN.

I've had them for a couple of years, never had any big problems - did have the issue with my wirless box and the indian people said it was my computer. I rang up UK department said I was going to cancel and they had an Engineer at my house withing the hour who replaced the faulty box.

I have found out that if you turn on the firewall on the super hub with the new firmware all is ok.

antijoke · 12 Apr 2011 at 13:52

In what aspects is everything ok with the firewall on?

My workmate has just received a Cease & Desist letter from VM because he's downloaded over 350 gig in a month between 9am and 9pm.
Anybody else received one?

As I went on a download spree on my network meter it's showing 307GB down, that's under a month probably.

/stops downloading

Why? I know on other packages you get the traffic management between those hours, but as 50mb has no throttling why does this make a difference?

antijoke · 13 Apr 2011 at 15:03

Even on 50 meg, newsgroup/P2P traffic is managed during peak times.

You just don't have download limits.
