Does VM still have a FUP?

I'm deciding on which way to go when I move away from ADSL2+ technology. VM looks good. But I keep seeing the dreaded "fair usage policy" abbreviation appearing on the pages when mentioning the VM broadband packages.

So whats the deal with FUP? is it still being applied to VM?

NO Virgin don't have a FUP policy but they do have a Traffic Management system that decreases allowed upload speeds if you exceed a certain limit in a certain time gap of a day, More info at link below

Different tiers have different allowances.....

My recommendation to you is, If you can get FTTC at a decent speed at your household then go for it.

But thats me really...... What do you use your broadband primarily for?

I mainly use it for games and some IRC chatting. I'm not much in to the torrenting places.. but yea.. I'm not a fan of being restricted.

I would have thought cable would have had a higher capacity than BT's fibre/copper network, so wouldnt need to do the traffic management.

Looks like I'll end up with BT eventually, after Sky finish changing my line from the dying Be.. why can't these companies stay in business! lol

" FTTC is brand new and there is no sharing from cab to exchange on FTTC "

Think you're wrong!
