Hey kids, wanna build your own Vulture 1?

You shined so briefly!

Oh dear, it seems that you are not alone in your (commendable) achievement. A bunch of school kids have just done the same thing, just without as much fanfare.

Virgin demands ISPs end broadband speed 'con'

I wonder what would happen if....... ?

I paid my monthly Virgin bill but instead of paying what they were expecting I paid "up to" the cost of my bill. I'm pretty sure they would start insisting that if that's what is on the bill then that is what you must pay.

Virgin demands ISPs end broadband speed 'con' - And starts construction on a very large glass house!

How incredibly duplicitous that Virgin Media should feel that they can lambast the other ISP's. I have been a VM broadband customer for many years and have almost never seen the speeds advertised for my speed plan. If you try to challenge them on this you will get a myriad of excuses from "These are only guidelines" to "You are trying to get online during peak times, when obviously the speed will be lower".

They are living in a really big glass house, perhaps the windows have fogged over?

As for rolling out Branson. I am quite sure that the cable connecting him has a large gold sticker on it. A sticker that means "Never throttle back, give him all we've got".

What utter hypocrisy!
