Stop Virgin From Destroying The Internet.
Speak out in any way you can and spread the word.
It’s going to happen, unless we act apon this. spread the word, make a video response, and try get this featured.
New News:
Virgin has been trying to calm the internet revolt against them for saying they would limit users’ internet access for commercial ends, stating “We’re not suggesting there will be any denial of access to those who don’t want to pay.” and then going on to confirm their previous anti-net neutrality statement: “VM could offer content providers deals to upgrade their provisioning if they want to ensure best access to to broadband subscribers.”. They did not comment on their earlier statements about putting non-premium content providers on their slower “bus lanes”.
A BT spokesperson gave us the following statement:
“… Unlike Virgin, we think the bandwidth we provide our users should be equal for all services and if services like the BBC iPlayer put too much strain on the bandwidth, both ISP’s and content providers should educate the users on that issue so that users know when and why they may have to upgrade their account for more bandwidth if it exceeds ‘fair use’ terms. We always bear the consumer in mind first and have no plans to prioritize traffic from third party companies. We welcome all the Virgin customers who left because of the net neutrality issue and offer ‘neutral’ bandwidth.”
Update: Sky has now also responded to us with a somewhat vague statement: “As video usage grows, it’s natural that there will be a debate about the best way to invest in additional capacity. We want to be one of the UK’s biggest and best ISPs so we’ll always be guided by the desire to meet customers’ needs for a high-quality internet experience.”
