Er... wrong.

I think you need to have a re-read....

The encrypted P code is used to avoid 3rd parties sending out false GPS signals (imagine that...) The encrypted (non-SA) GPS signal is now so accurate as to make DGPS irrelevant.

HMRC fails to plan for £10.4bn contract exit... because it's 'too risky'

Re: £350 per taxpayer

Virgin Media to hike broadband prices by nearly 7 per cent

Re: Ironic - taking Libertys not providing them -

What complete and utter nonsense... the MAXIMUM reduction is 16% for 2 hours* which by my reckoning is somewhere around 127mbs.

To hit that you need to going over the limit between 4-Midnight Mon - Fri or 11-Midnight on Sat Sun

You would need to download more than 5GB in an hour to get the 10% reduction or 6.25GB to get the 16% reduction.

Even if you did get hit, the traffic management applies to P2P and Newsgroups.

It's the fairest I've seen.

*There is an odd clause in the small print though! For a minimum of 1 to 2 hours depending on the customers usage, but this can last until after the end of peak period if the customer is a heavy user at peak.
