In that case, that's 400mb more than I can now from 4pm to 9pm.
Still gives me from 9pm to 10am (13 hours) free to download whatever any big stuff I might need.. And presumably 3pm to 4pm is fair game too, right?
As this hour is oddly left out of the equation.
I hate the restrictions - I really do. But, like a good chunk of us in Manchester, I'm suffering BADLY due to high usage on the UBR.
Maybe these restrictions will allow some of us to surf at a decent speed at last.
I'm not 'for it' by a long chalk, but it's going to happen so might as well see the benefits from it.
I just hope it does the job it's presumably being implemented for, and bearing in mind STM has been hinted at being scrapped altogether further down the line once all the networks have been upgraded, yes?

I wouldnt get too attached to that 9pm-10am routine as there is other trials for downloading/uploading overnight as well, VM aint gonna get let you use the bandwith your paying for.
Manchester isnt suffering high usage as such, the problem lies with old hardware that needs upgrading, dont believe half the crap VM try to spin you.
