So everyone is agreing then that we are limited does this not bring us back to the old case of vm and false advertising then .

in certain areas, just 3% of customers were uploading and/or downloading such a large amount of content that it was affecting the service for other users in these areas.

I think using the word areas is a big mistake because if you think like you're thinking that it could be certain streets, then STM for that?!

It went live the night before, last night was just a fixer upper if you will, which went extremely wrong as you could tell by the outage.

But yes. the new STM rollout is fully complete according to network planning.

Re: New STM rules 2008

I can confirm that the new usage rules are in place. I'm currently yon a 4 meg connection and I was cut to 1 meg a couple of days ago. I assumed that this was comming till next year but VM have decided otherwise. I am a new customer in the last few weeks and my experience with VM have been bad. They didn't install DTV when bb was being installed. My internet speed a at the start was capped at 2megs, a phone call sorted that out and now we have an outage a caps of 1meg. Really i'm looking forward till the day when they upgrade 4 meg to 10 meg if they ever do.

Re: New STM rules 2008

I have just finished downloading 5GB with NO STM, so the new policy is indeed in effect.
