    say they're gonna be disconnecting customers who are downloading illegally. Didn't realise they could monitor what you were downloading.

    That's specific to the BPI and music - whether they expand it to TV shows or not is another matter.

    Don't worry about Lost - I'm completely lost with the latest series.

    They are AWFUL anyway.
    Worst thin ever when they took over Blueyonder.
    Service is crap - Internet off half a day - I know this from my one day a month working at home - can't access the internet for increasingly longer and longer spells.

    I would not advise anyone changing to this network

    Most ISPs have a log of every website you've ever been to

    You can set uTorrent to encrypt transfers (so apparently the transfers aren't even recognisable as torrents). However, you have to get the torrent from somewhere...

    Research shows that parents aren't even aware that their kids are breaking the law? Oh really. Hmm. I suspect most parents put in requests to their kids. What kid with a new found worth is going to keep quiet about it? I think it should have read...

    Research says that most parents will openly deny they knew their kids were up to no good.

    yes u can set utorrent to encryption. which also helps your isp from throttling your speeds on torrent files. if virgin media want to play at been internet police then they must be prepared to lose lots of customers.
