I agree, but that doesn't help the UBRs cope with the traffic during peak times. I could still download at max speed before midnite and then be on STM when no one is using the connection. It's a half baked policy. Realistically, peak is between 6-10pm. They added 2hrs each way just to be safe and then an extra 4hrs penalty because, let's be realistic, anyone that watches Joost, BBC online etc will always go over their limit at some point at night and probably be limited til 2-4am.

That is exactly the reason I upped my 4meg to 20. Tho they only got an extra £4 out of me so the way I see it, it's £4 for the extra upload bandwidth, which is not really a bad deal.
