Hello, most of you have probably heard about the recent statements by the Virgin Media CEO in the U.K. For you that haven’t, Virgin Media have openly said that they will start throttling the speed to site that don’t pay a lot of money to the company.

This is so ****ed up i don’t know where to start. What about sites like ForumWarz that can’t afford to pay 100,000$ or whatever to the company and get shafted for speeds. Luckily for now it’s only Virgin have announced it so far, but if people don’t speak up this could spread. Perhaps there will be companies that don’t do it, but they will most likely market it as a feature and get away with charing more for the service.

So what do you guys think, is this just a money making thing or is there actually more to it, like limiting access to unwanted sources of information? This perhaps sounds like a conspiracy theory but what is your opinion on the whole situation.
