Just found out that my area is going to be a trial area for virgin media’s new traffic management which is even more fun and confusing than it was previously but now also seriously limits your downloads at the weekend if you download over 7.5Gb

Thank god my BT line should be installed on Friday and then I can sort out getting O2 broadband. If I hadn’t already cancelled my virgin media service this may have been the final nail in the coffin. If they don’t want people to use a 20Mb service they shouldn’t offer it (and they are even starting to offer 50Mb which will probably eventually get traffic managed down to 12.5Mb)

Full details of the new traffic management HERE
