Just a little taster of whats on VMs "Traffic management" site.


What traffic management policies are you applying to the heaviest users?

That depends on the broadband package you're signed up to. And it's important to remember that these traffic management policies only apply during peak times (4pm till 9pm) – as this is when the speeds are likely to be affected by people using more than their fair share.


Well, as we said, we've carried out a trial in which we looked closely at when the heaviest users were affecting the service for everybody else.

We found that this small minority of customers were actually downloading or uploading enough information to significantly affect the service for other customers' broadband service. To put it another way, just 3% of uploaders and downloaders were affecting the service for the other 97% of uploaders and downloaders during peak times (that's between 4pm and 9pm).


Once again VM are telling us quote, "its important to remember these traffic management policies only apply during peak times [4pm to 9pm]"

Also if they expect us to believe that stm only affects 3% of customers they must think we came down with the last shower of brown stuff. Add to this even more stm times, you must be joking VM!!
