This is simply not true. Companies react far faster to the demands of their customers than government does to the demand of the people. Companies, when in real, unregulated competition, will increase the quality and reduce the price of their product.

"Net Neutrality" is a misnomer, a play on words, designed to sound appealing. Give it some careful consideration and study the effects of similar legislation in history.

Examples of what you mean?

^^ Are you serious?! Tiscali are THE crap.

We offer an 8mb connection in your area. Charge us for it but the max we can get is 1mb download speeds. So we downgrade to 1mb or 2mb (cant remember) and we dont even hit 100k on the download speed.

Ring them up and its all foreign call centers who dont speak english

It does seem that Under Virgin they are trying to roger us(their customers) HARD though
that would be why you probably don't have many problems - its mainly the new customers who have the biggest problems it seems.

Same with Virgin, call there support and its a waste of time. Try to get through to complaints, they send you to the Billing department. not good when you want to complain about there Billing department.

Also had 71% connection (on a cable line) over a 7 month period.

I'm with them for another 2 months then its going in the bin.
