i usually download at evening after 3 mostely, and i get normal speed with no shaping what so ever to this date.

Well you're in for a shock then

. According to the link, STM will be implemented as the 20mbit upgrades are done. Those on 10mbit now won't be shaped, but those in an area that has been upgraded to 20 are now being shaped.

This is the first time I'm glad our area is at the end of the list!

See above - in this case that's not a bad thing. The STM isn't introduced until they upgrade your area to 20...

Sadly that can't be true, I'm on the Peterborough UBR which hasn't been upgraded and have experienced this traffic shaping a couple of times in the past week

The 20meg better have a reasonable/no cap and throttling down to 10 rather than 5!

my modem shows Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 4096000

Complete ******** really.

In my House there is:
My PC
My Brothers Laptop
My Mum's Laptop
My Xbox 360
My Brothers Xbox 360

I have Joost on My PC which I assume uses quite a bit of Bandwidth.

Not to mention the amount of updates WE ALL have to download every day for Virus Programs etc etc.

Its completely Retarded.

Look at the size of Hard Drives Nowa Days, a 1TB HDD Is being released soon. If they think 3GB is huge, then they should take a loot at them drives.

Im seriously Contemplating righting a Bot which will just constantly Fill this form out and send complaints to Virgin along the lines of "TRAFFIC SHAPING SUCKS, GO AND DIE"

http://help2.virginmedia.com/assets/...erytype_1.html

At the very least we should all fill it out, then pick up the phone and spam that too. Send a couple of letter bombs whilst your at it too.

Oh, and could Virgin not just upgrade thier hardware, and make it more capable of handling 5% of excessive users, then the "Information Superhighway" wouldnt get "clogged". ???

Management is done on the UBR, so config will show your normal speed.
