" - Verz, on 04/13/2008, -4/+130Boycott Virgin Media!
- squarb, on 04/13/2008, -2/+111i have to say i feel almost nothing but animosity towards Virgin Media's stance, and incidentally, Neil Berkett's face. that kind of gleeful look in the guys eyes as he gives the official two finger solute from VM has already got me thinking of another isp. or just disconnecting.
- inactive, on 04/13/2008, -1/+73too bad virgin doesn't throttle all the child porn mailing lists I just signed him up for.
- WNW3, on 04/13/2008, -2/+60I thought it was buttsecks with a * missing, admittedly that didn't make a lot of sense on several levels.
- vertinox, on 04/13/2008, -3/+57They won't because:
A. They don't know its happening.
B. There usually isn't anyone else to switch to.
C. And if there is, the other ISP is probaly guilty as well. - digitalpencil, on 04/13/2008, -0/+49Virgin Media this month have launched their own on-demand TV service 'Mix it up TV' after complaining previously that the BBC's offering, iPlayer had been consuming its network with traffic growing 25% /month. Arguing that services like this and youtube will ultimately result in 'crashing the UK infrastructure'.
All ISPs are arguing that the Internet was never designed to deal with this level of traffic but when I subscribe to unlimited 20mb VM cable broadband (which I do), that's what I expect to get! Not 20mb with google and every other service gets throttled-to-*****!
Money must be invested into overhauling the current infrastructure, replacing copper with fiber. But this overhaul can't be the undertaken without sufficient NN regulation! Corporate-funded, astroturf smear campaigns like Hands Off the Internet and dontregulate.org are succeeding in obfuscating this simple principle in the eyes of every-day consumers arguing that with regulation, the Internet's ability to continue innovating will be suppressed. The truth is very simple though.. without NN, or some similar regulation, we will see the greatest learning resource known to man and the last realm of true free-speech, reduced to an online vending machine for porn and advertising!
Content creation on the Internet is weighed as high as 80% created by individuals! Compared to traditional media this is phenomenal, with TV having practically 0, radio 5% and newspapers, the occasional op-ed piece. Telco's want to become gatekeepers, charging for every media packet as it enters and leaves their network.
“Democracy depends on freedom of speech. Freedom of connection, with any application, to any party, is the fundamental social basis of the Internet, and, now, the society based on it.” Sir. Tim Burners Lee - Inventor of the World Wide Web - Zagger, on 04/13/2008, -5/+49*****? You mean an insane *****! Now let's see how he handles getting internet raped.
- Ryosen, on 04/13/2008, -0/+42This is blackmail against content providers such as YouTube. The solution is simple.
Delist all Virgin Media-related sites, and all sites hosted by them, from Google. - inactive, on 04/13/2008, -4/+43"revealed that Virgin is already in talks with unnamed content providers about paying to have their content delivered faster than others."
At least the argument against net neutrality, "None of the ISPs actually want to do this", is now not true. Americans are very reactive, not very proactive. It usually takes something concrete thats already a clear threat before they pay attention. - groovechamp30, on 04/13/2008, -2/+36This guy is a total *****, Im never subscribing to anything virgin media related ever again.
- djm101, on 04/13/2008, -0/+33Cheers, as a Virgin Media customer myself I just sent him this:
"As a customer of your service, Virgin Media L Broadband, your statement about Net Neutrality comes as a great surprise. I am simply taking this time to tell you that if you do go down the route of non-net neutrality (allowing 3rd party companies to pay so that we receive their data faster), I will be disconnecting from your service as soon as is contractually possible. You seem to lack an understanding of how much this will affect the internet as we know it today; the entire reason the internet is so popular, along with the reason Virgin Media has so many customers is the fact that the internet is open to everyone – at the same quality. Without this, the internet will be taken over by the corporations and free speech on the net will effectively be over. Go down that road and face the consequences."
What a *****. - XTrek, on 04/13/2008, -1/+27These elite jackasses need to create their own private Internet and see who it goes... The public Internet needs to be open and fully available for everyone to create and innovate. We don't need another locked up greed driven playground for the rich and in power.
- FriedTurkey, on 04/13/2008, -1/+24I am sure some Libertarians will stick to the "free market fixes everything" but we really need regulation to prevent a tiered Internet.
- glutamate, on 04/13/2008, -9/+31***** This *****.
***** HIM HARD - evilcaptain, on 04/13/2008, -1/+22He does get one thing right; the real power is in the hands of those that pay for it, namely, us.
- dood, on 04/13/2008, -0/+19It's complete buttocks!
- sonycam, on 04/13/2008, -12/+30How can net neutrality work? As soon as an ISP decides to purposely make parts of the Internet slow, people will simply switch to one which doesn't?
- twiztidsinz, on 04/13/2008, -2/+20He even looks like a douchebag.
- zanderw00t, on 04/13/2008, -4/+21in the butt.
- qetuo, on 04/13/2008, -1/+18I hate Virgin there are a terrible company for customer service!
- mrsteveman1, on 04/13/2008, -0/+17ok, so
*****:
( ) The RIAA
( ) The MPAA
( ) George Bush
( ) Sony
( ) Microsoft
( ) Apple
( ) Virgin media
(x) All of the above - andrew522, on 04/13/2008, -0/+17but... what if he likes that *****? you may have just given him a present.
- mrhahn, on 04/13/2008, -0/+17Their ADSL service is appaling. We live across the road from the exchange, with a perfect sync rate of 8Mbps and achieve less than 5KB/s quite regularly between 4pm - midnight. And we're paying £18/m for this "broadband" service. This is just another nail in the coffin really.
- Icebox3, on 04/13/2008, -6/+22What an immense tool.
- krisdye, on 04/13/2008, -1/+17What an absolute *****.
- sleepwalkers, on 04/13/2008, -1/+16Until they all do.
- Lazydriver, on 04/13/2008, -0/+15Send it via post.
- hazard99, on 04/13/2008, -0/+15I was wondering what the word was...
- sylvok, on 04/13/2008, -0/+15^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^
- bgale246, on 04/13/2008, -1/+15Well I was going to sign up for their cable service in 3 months when i move. Not anymore.
- soulkitchen, on 04/14/2008, -0/+14[ Please pay 4.99 / mth to receive full curse words ]
- fofusion, on 04/13/2008, -3/+17See these retards that constantly spam stories with ohhh there is barely any diggs.
its an algorithm it takes many things into account. Most likely how quickly the diggs are after each other (meaning a popular story) hence why its front paged. - davethe1st, on 04/13/2008, -6/+20It's evident Neil thinks the same about visiting a dentist.
- BlueCyclone, on 04/13/2008, -1/+14...in the butt
- unitedkronos, on 04/13/2008, -0/+13Yet another reason for me to move away from Virgin Media, though I can't because it would cost a ton to install a BT line.
- MrSilverblood, on 04/13/2008, -0/+13If that occurs, that's setting a dangerous and foolish precedent.
- linuxpenguin, on 04/13/2008, -2/+15***** YOU NEIL! Your company - that's what's bollocks.
- Fartbandit, on 04/13/2008, -3/+16virgin media account cancelled...
Hopefully the ***** in charge will get the message. - a2love, on 04/13/2008, -1/+14***** ya. They control the wires, we control the content. ***** them.
- zenwhen, on 04/13/2008, -1/+12Yes, let's make the Internet another unfair playing field where only those with big dollars can survive. ***** this guy.
- macwac, on 04/13/2008, -0/+11Don't worry Virgin Media, I won't ever buy your product ;) in fact i don't think i've bought anything of Richard Branson's brand ever? Except that of Virgin Galactic if the price goes down!
- dgaspard, on 04/13/2008, -0/+11I don't know about you. I only have a choice between cable internet and dsl. If bellsouth and cox communications decide move away from net neutrality I'm pretty much ***** unless I get a verizon card in my laptop. But that won't help my desktop or the rest of my network to much. In short we need competition.
- reginaldino, on 04/13/2008, -0/+10the x10 newsletter just got some new additions
- Ignitedude, on 04/13/2008, -0/+10I find this statement absolutely jaw dropping.
As a consumer who is using Virgin Media as their ISP I am more than a little concerned... - linksus, on 04/13/2008, -0/+10Lucky for us guys in the UK. If you can get virgin ADSL then you can get anyones. And the choice of ISP's is huge! If you want uncensored internet, Go with a more unknown ISP. They normally play much nicer than the bigger guys.
IF you have virgin cable. then you can get ADSL. So see above.. Theres a choice of like a 100 ISPs in the UK. - MNiT, on 04/13/2008, -0/+10An American talking about bad swear words, when all they ever tend to say is the word 'douche' over and ***** over?
Go suck a bollock you *****-faced arse-trumpet. We have the richest swearing in the world, you *****-eating toss basket. -
