Although a bit slow of the mark to report about this, Virgin media (my Current ISP) is all set to bring out a new faster service of 100mbit connection to the home. This service will have a 10mbit upload rate and while there is no restriction as such on the service, they will be bringing in a general degrade of speed on upload for Torrents and such. Why will anyone need such a fast connection, fast in fact as most office LAN connection and the upload is faster then most have on ADSL for download.

Virgin Throttling to the Extreme
I wanted to grab a Linux Distro (Sabayon) and used FTP to get this, the latest was on DVD only (3.87 Gigs) and I started this I thought well within the time period for been throttled. Later I came back and it was still downloading – the speed was the trade mark 2mbits and upon speed testing – was confirmed I was been throttled.I went off and checked the numbers – after all how was I expected to use my connection now?
