I'm sorry that you've not received any correspondence regarding traffic
management from us. I understand that you're supposed to be informed
about these changes. Being email support, I can't explain this to you in
detail. Call us on 0800 230 0202. It's a free call from landline and O2
mobiles. Remember to drop the first zero if you're calling from a mobile
phone. We'll be in a better position to explain this new policy to you
over the phone.
I hope this gets sorted soon.

would you restrict O2 call's during peak periods due to high traffic
volume ?? the principle is just the same, and I think you'll find that
in the clarity of information claus put in to regulate
internet/broadband that your supposed to notifie your customers of such
inportant changes to there connections... following the same principles
can I restrict payment due to high traffic of bills/out going monies ???
Im sure youd have a lot to say about that !
And I really dont understand how you can restict service because people
are using there internet, thats what its for !
in buissiness school the fundimental law is supply and demand and as a
buissiness its your problem if you cant keep up with demand especialy if
you continue to keep taking buissiness when you cant supply to the
demand you already have ???
its just greed and ignorance to keep signing people to a service you
cant cover !
I could and did go on... till I got board !
