I know how they choose to throttle people as I have already seen VM's ridiculous traffic management policy restricting me to 750MB between 4pm and 9pm before limiting the speed. 750MB is nothing is todays world. An hour long BBC iplayer program is around 800MB. So if I watch one thats it, I'm throttled. Is that really being unfair to other users? No, in my opinion that is unfair on me.

You can all keep telling me otherwise, but I get 9.7-9.8mbps directly through the modem.

I have just been downloading two TV programs via the router, 2.1GB total. It was flying then all of a sudden cuts off to around 40-60kBps. Limit reached and throttled surely.
