It is therefore being used as a red herring for people who want to attack VM. And I suspect that for many of the people using this red herring, their current speed is slower than the speed you get from VM even when the VM speed is capped. I don't know whether that makes it funny or pathetic.

I would have to disagree with you about it being a red herring. While it is his opinion that 60meg BT would be better, the fact that you can only use your VM connection for about 15 minutes at full speed before they limit your speed to whatever percent, shows that you don't even have to be a heavy user to be affected.
As for the FTTC customers here on 80Meg, they all seem to constantly get that speed as well as the 20meg upload. With no slowing down of their connection and no congestion, I would say it is a better choice.
40mbit is more than enough for my use and I consistently get it even when I download 30GB in an evening. Find the upload more useful tbh. 20mbit is more than enough for most households at this point in time really, the speed thing is really a bit of a con. |
