Virgin Media, formerly NTL (my broadband provider), have decided to implement throttling of their broadband service between 4pm and 12am.

Speeds on the cable network will be limited between 4pm and midnight for traffic which Virgin considers “potentially abnormal”. Virgin says the top five per cent heaviest downloaders among its three million customers will be affected - about 150,000 broadband users across the country.

I don’t really do a great deal of downloading/uploading so shouldn’t really be affected. Although I welcome a more reliable network structure.

Virgin Media have finally taken BSkyB to court.
We’ve still got place holder images for every Sky channel on our service from Virgin. We were originally serviced by NTL, but since the buy out and petty little argument between the two companies, we’ve not had a full service.

I’m too fussed to be quite honest. I don’t watch 24 or Lost. I occasionally used to check out The Simpsons every once in a while, but I’m currently addicted to Street Crime UK on Bravo!
