Yes, thanks for the correction, now I think about it you are actually far worse than others who just over use a shared service. You actually go out of your way to inconvenience others.

Consider applying the same standards to yourself that you ascribe to others, Sir.

Before you comment I saw that thread in the list on the home page and thought it referred to fixed line stuff so took a look.

I would say that if that guy's use of P2P is causing issues that's your provider's problem, not his.

Right,

So then it's safe to assume that people who download more than me and have no STM are also getting your scrawny remarks? Because I have STM so I don't do hardly anything from 4-11PM

When my downloading at 4am starts to affect you in your part of the world - then come back and tell me. Until then - not interested.

It's our providers problem not mine!

Someone put on here that they did 15TB in a month outside of STM hours - no one said anything. So I don't care what you think little keyboard warrior.

That was me and in the future I shall be doing similar again.... it is just that right now my 100 down service is so over subscribed that there is no point except for that short 2am to 7am window. I got this connection to use it not just to say i had it and as you say pcov, if I am paying for it why not.

Whilst others seem to want to flame you for your attitude, I applaud you for telling it as it is. The failings are due to VM selling high when they cannot produce the goods. You sir are just using what you were sold as I am wont to do.

Do you think VM have realised that not all computer users are lemmings yet? Some of us have found other, perfectly legal, uses for computers and connections and in my particular instance this is mostly charitable on the computer side and a matter of principal on the connection. With the recent revelations about NSA I am surprised that the likes of TOR have not put ISP's under even more pressure on their infrastructure.

I own a copy of Windows but I use Linux where I can. No matter what it might offer I would not pay through the nose for Apple anything. I feel this does not make me better than anyone else, just perhaps a little more independent in my thinking. The Flat Earth society hold no interest for me and I am pleased to see your civility in reply to those that feel they can dictate the use of others.

They aren't dictating they are just showing him , you and people like you, for being what you are - inconsiderate and greedy. The fact that he is downloading more in an hour than he could watch, legally or not, is disgusting. Its in the same ballpark as pushing children out of the way so you can get on the lifeboat first.

Virgin media and other ISPs have a model to work to and while they do have to take into account a certain amount of heavy downloaders and balance that up with light users, there is no way a residential service should have to cope with industrial use; indeed, VM's terms and conditions have this included:

Use the services in a way that: (i) risks degradation of service levels to other customers; (ii) puts our system at risk; and/or (iii) is not in keeping with that reasonably expected of a residential customer. If we believe that you are using the services in any of these ways, we are entitled to reduce, suspend and/or terminate any or all of the services without giving you notice.

Postulate as much as you like but there is nothing you could be doing legally on a residential line that would need 15 TB a month. If you are going to make the other VM users have a miserable connection at least have the guts to be honest about what you do.

But as I posted before there is - http://www.majestic12.co.uk/

Whether that is asensible useor not is by no means certaibn

Hi, Sir.

Just wanted to ask which computer users fall into your classification as 'lemmings'?

Much as you pay for all the gas, electricity & water you consume, I expect that the day will eventually come when ISPs will start to charge for all the bandwith that users consume. Why should broadband usage be any different?
