Virgin Media's latest throttling rules

This is an improvement

I'm quite confused about this - I'm on their 30MB package, any downloads I run go at 3.7MB/s until I get throttled, and under the current scheme, my speed thereafter is capped at 1MB/s. Does this new regime mean that my speed after throttling will be increased to 1.8MB/s? Other than adding caps for the lower end packages, this doesn't seem like such a bad deal.

Alert

Urgent Announcement

The new episode was published, it just hasn't arrived yet, due to >flick< >flick< a transient phase spike in the >flick< local transformers. Try moving your computer closer to the wall socket, or better still, cut and splice all your power cables to remove redundant extra length. Make sure they're turned on while you do it, or the earth won't be working!

What they need...
