Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
So when the 200Mb comes out, that will be free from STM, giving us an incentive to move over to it.
Quite clever if i'm right. Saying that, that's not that often mind ;) |
Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
I thought the 50Mb service has always had some sort of traffic management on it , or am I confusing that with something else?
I sure I got some sort of warning letter just after I subscribed to it ... ? |
Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
seems people still get frequently confused on this.
VM run STM and protocol shaping, 2 types of traffic management. The latter (protocol) is on all tiers during peak hours. The former (STM) was on up/down on all tiers below 50mbit and on UP on 50meg. STM affects all traffic and isnt protocol sensitive. This announcement seems to squash the rumoured change which would have been to scrap protocol shaping and replace it with some sort of intelligent STM (comcast style). |

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
I read that also, but it would be a very strange move to do this change and then another change (more major) soon after. Although knowing VM.....

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
As long as the limits are reasonable, I am fine with it, so long as it means I can max out my connection more often at peak times and not suffer poor pings.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
So they are introducing STM on 50Mb and 100Mb what about the 120Mb, so that means once my speed has been increased from 50Mb to 100Mb that if I get STM'd I will still get 50Mb sounds good to me.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
OK just rang up and they said 100/120 mb will be 250gig before STM kicks in and then a 50% reduction in speed, and STM times will run from 10AM till 3PM, but he didn't know about the protocol shaping? And the upload will be 120gig before STM kicks in.....
Was going to leave but the changes seem fair enough to me, plus infinity has been put back 3 months in my area!!!! |

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Can't see how its possible to do 250 gig in 5 hours anyway and only did just under 200gig last month!

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Last week I did 30 gig in slightly over an hour on 50meg. OS Maps are kinda huge :)
