Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia It's always the same response. No service impacting issues reported. However, the service is pretty bad. Wondering if @virginmedia network is capable of handling traffic or deliberately doing throttling. @Ofcom

Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia @elise_john85 So you're whacking up Elsie's cost because you have more customers (who are presumably also paying you) using the service, and you want to use Elsie extra £4.50 / month so you can invest in services that attract even more customers?!? Get in the bin!
