Virgin Media to throttle Torrent users

[Decode]

Hehe.

We should just take down Virgin Media via crashing them, It's not illegal, we just download alot of stuff

And i think its pathetic, what next, they ban adult sites

In Australia that might be happening

I have BT internet and my torrents seem to be rather amazingly fast. Although, that is at 1am in the morning, so barely peak time.

Hmmm, you might be on to an idea here....

Then they would have no customers, whole internet would die off.

I hope you guys are being sarcastic here.

It's totally irrelevant to me. 1MB BT (already throttling BitTorrent) and even with port fowarding it's totally useless.

Why is it we pay them money to use the internet as we want, and they now decide to say "You can't actually use the internet. Sorry."
Virgin Media have given me no end of problems and hence reasons to move, this is almost definitely the tipping point.

I really want to kick VM's CEO in the head. Many times. Daily.

Anyone got any ISPs which VM customers could move to? I was thinking Sky because I know some of their plans are actually truly unlimited..?

Warez FTW, if you have rapidshare premium they download in no time what so ever.

Sky is meant to be good, yes. If I were ever to move then it'd either be to Sky or Virgin, only Virgin because of the speeds though. :rolleyes:
