No point phoning them - all ISPs oversell their capacity and VM is no exception. Mines been like that for months and I'm told we're getting an upgrade in the area 'hopefully in the future'. So they /hope/ to provide me with the service I pay for, at those times when it isn't being capped anyway
To be honest I wish they'd abolish the max package and have 10mb as the top speed sold. Unpopular to say, but there's a very, very tiny number of people who legitimately need 20mb. Trouble is a lot of people (like me) sign up for that one as the VM downstream/upstream ratio is a joke, and it's the only way to get reasonable upstream.
