Three of the UK’s largest ISPs – Virgin Media, BT and the Carphone Warehouse (TalkTalk, AOL) have come under fire following research results from Internet analyst firm Envisional’s illegal music study.
It was found that 65% of all illegal P2P torrent downloads were carried out by subscribers to these services, with around 28,000 unique IP addresses involved in download activity. Of those active downloaders, 26 per cent originated from a Carphone Warehouse service in June, 21.6 per cent from Virgin Media and 21.2 per cent from BT. July figures showed similar results with changes of no more than 0.2 per cent either way for each provider.
Together, the three providers highlighted in the survey account for approximately 11 million UK-based broadband customers.
