Re: Keep Virgin from destroying the internet...
Millions? Virgin are huge.
A few million won't get you far in the 21st century.
Virgin is invaluable.
And I doubt leaving their service will 'put them out of business' because:
Their funds are limitless and sustainable.
People who use the net for simple things like ebay and amazon don't reall 'understand'.
And no, I don't think all ISPs will follow the trend, simply to be 'the only one left' if you get me.
All because one mega-company is doing something drastic doesn't mean the less bigger companies are going to say "oh, well if they're doing it, fuck it we'll do it too. We want that audience god dammit. And what's better than providing the same thing everyone else is providing them?". It doesn't make sense.

Re: Keep Virgin from destroying the internet...
Meh, this could be ended when another ISP takes Virgin's little "We fuck our users over" acts to their advantage and say "Hey guys Virgin is limiting your internet access, if you switch from us you can get the same + more a little less money"
Then Virgin is fucked, they're basically leaving themselves open to get OWNED by other ISP's I wont be surprised when a smaller ISP takes advantage of this and becomes bigger than Virgin itself :]

Re: Keep Virgin from destroying the internet...
If i recall, Virgin cannot limmit the content you view, or what you can or cannot build, You have the right to Build what ever you want, post what ever you want, build what ever site, server, tutorial ect. im almost positive they cant limit the content viewed. would be Breaking a law. that the FCC them self put into act.

Re: Keep Virgin from destroying the internet...
Either they have balls of steel or are really stupid. Stuff like this wouldn't happen in Australia, because everyone would just boycott the ISP. What idiots, they will lose heaps of money once it hits the newspapers and the media properly.

I can understand a minor rebellion, but going to war? The majority of internet users I doubt know what the hell they're doing anyway. And most of them will regurgitate any phrase/slogan you throw at them.

I just switched to Rogers from Bell, hope I haven't made a wrong decision. I like my limitless BELL but it's not very fast... but ROGERS limits your bandwidth.
Anyways, I think companies CANNOT and SHOULD not be allowed to do that. Basically, by monitoring your network usage, they are invading your privacy, which (I don't know about Europe) is illegal here. Fuck Virgin Media!

Re: Keep Virgin from destroying the internet...
I'm just rather sad that I'll be among the first to be effected.
Maybe our american cousins can hold it off a little longer ;)

when we lose rights like this, others follow suit, look at america, shit look at england. losing a little freedom leads to losing a little more untill we have none left at all. "1st they came for the jews."

Re: Keep Virgin from destroying the internet...
I don't think every ISP would follow this 'slow lane' trend because there's money to be made. Say Virgin and Telewest both put this method into action, people leave them due to their restraint of service and providers like Sky and Tiscali are there to offer them full internet access. There's gonna be a loss leader in this and it's gonna be Virgin.

You should know, throughout time those dictated and controlled by the government (public) don't know what's really going on (besides a few, and the few of those who speak out).
