Not everyone has problems so I hope your connection stays solid like mine.

Re: So fars great !
^^^^ zain it is more than worth it, 10mb felt slow to be honest, but you'll feel the full power for 20mb when your downloading huge files.

Re: So fars great !
What the point of putting STM in force ? Why can't VM put a usage cap instead of stupid speed cap!
I would say change STM to usage cap instead like this:
2Mb - user can download no more than 2GB per 24 hours period and no more than 56GB per month
4Mb/10Mb - user can download no more than 6GB per 24 hours period and no more than 168 GB per month
20Mb - user can download no more than 15GB per 24 hours period and no more than 420GB per month
And scrap that silly speed cap !!!

Because 2Gb is nothing, nor is 6Gb or 15Gb.
Hell 420Gb in a month is nothing. I was doing that in a fortnight at one point. (And i hardly download anything these days!)
