In my opinion this is what this stm is all about, VM just cannot bring themselves to drop their ridiculous "unlimited" boast, obviously the network is overloaded and its having trouble coping with peoples needs, but still VM are spending a fortune on advertising taking ever more customers onto the network. As was mentioned earlier if VM were to inform us, the customer, that at a certain date in the near future when the network was upgraded that there would be no further need for stm, I think people would understand, or the majority would. But no, as usual VM are keeping us in the dark, playing their favourite card of blaming a few "greedy" people of using their connection to d/l a film or two, absolutely outrageous, these "greedy" people have paid for an "unlimited" service. Personally I'm of the opinion that I would rather pay on a basis of what I use, than forever worrying about going over my limit, if I were to pay for a 50mb service, I would expect to be able to use it without fear of being stm,d down to say what, 10mb. In finishing Id say to VM if you cant offer an "unlimited" service without so many caveats, change your pricing structure, so that people can use the speeds they pay for!!
