As Spike says, it seems more a case that VM is filtering traffic from
these high-usage groups than Giga is dropping them from the UK market.
Thought I'd read that VM was looking to increase its handling
capacity. If not, it's going to create a lot of ill will; I don't know
what competition VM may have in the UK, but it would be a good
decision to improve their service before someone else steals their
thunder.
Not experiencing any problems on Giga in the US, and I haven't had any
problems with any files I've tried to download from ab.teevee......as
of yet......
