Boycott Virgin Media Today!
Sign Now
Virgin Media's chief executive Neil Berkett described net neutrality as a load of bollocks and appeared to suggest that companies could pay for a stronger internet presence.
Berkett said in an interview in Television magazine that the company is already in talks with websites to provide privileged data transmission. The news prompted leading figures on the internet to call for a boycott.
Net neutrality is the principle that all data is treated equal during transmission and has been a founding principle of the internet, making it possible for websites to compete on a level playing field.
Virgin Media have adopted the toxic and ultimately suicidal view that they own their customers, a captive audience who can be exploited in any way they deem reasonable.
It would me that they would throttle their bandwidth, demand payments for access, charge for support calls, decide what equipment they may or may not connect to the network, because Virgin has become the the national cable co. monopoly.
Please everyone, if we let one company do this all of the rest will follow them and we will all be faced with this. Please stop them now, If you pay for any virgin media (in any form) or plan on becoming a subscriber do yourself and everyone else on the internet a favor and boycott them, keep things fair and free, do not let them get rid of Net Neutrality. Thank you.
