Yea these new traffic shaping stuff that has been imposed on us are all wrong. VM are telling us that 3GB is a big file and that if you download more than that between 4pm and midnight it puts you in the 5% bracket and then your connection is limited.
3GB might have been a huge file 5 years ago but now? C'mon VM, there are online gaming shops (Can't remember the site atm) where you can purchase games to download and todays games can be anywhere from 2GB up to 8GB files! Game patches can be huge since they add allot of content for games such as WoW and other MMO's.
Why are they supporting caps? If the company advertises something that's what they should deliver. If 20 customers are hammering the service they pay for surly the company should increase the bandwidth in that area, not slay their customers.
No normal person leaves their PC on over night to get a file they wanted the day before, the reason we want faster connections is so we dont have to wait!! Waiting is old hat.
