That just replaces one problem with another.
Once 50mb is fully rolled out and un-stm'd as promised by VM's bosses to the City, the 10 and 20mb tiers will be moved onto the same network as the 50mb tier freeing up oodles of bandwidth for the bottom tier. There is no reason then why VM should have any kind of traffic management at all. It was only brought in because the current network couldn't cope with demand. Having one or two frequencies for your entire broadband service was ridiculous.
But, as always there's a sting in the tail and I would expect the application management to be implemented then to quell the illegal downloading.
We'll all be able to download what we want then at any time of the day at maximum speed, just not the good stuff for free.
