Re: Downstream traffic management between 3 and 4 PM?

Just recently though, it's also affecting me between the hour of 3 PM and 4 PM.

This sucks because what used to be this: -

10 AM - 3 PM = 7 GB
3 PM - 4 PM = No limit
4 PM - 9 PM = 3.5 GB

Is now basically this: -

10 AM - 9 PM = 7 GB

Is this a fault, or have VM changed their policy without updating their website?
if you breach that 7gb just right on 2:59pm dnt forget your clock could say 3pm but virign sevre coudl say 2:57pm , if you breach it you will be traffic managed for 5 hour which woudl include 3-4pm, wha ti suggest is to make sure you dnt donwload until 3:10pm then any chance of clock being different should b reduce quite a lot i cant see your clock and virign clock being out by more than 5 minutes

they of course could be trialing new stm rules but it is hard to say
