Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
You where wrong with mine one. I added the stm figures of 30mbit between the 2 times and added them.
Instead of a daily trigger it might be a monthly one where you go above that you be stmed between peak times for that month.
the 250 gig figure is what they could contact you if you go above this (depending on the utilisation in your area) for decremential use.

no problem. various adsl suppliers like enta, plusnet have a fixed limit during peak and then unlimited off-peak but they stm is much more restrictive (snails pace) than vm.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
i dont mind a 250gb monthly limit as long as any stm which is applied isnt 24hrs so I can still get full speed during the night.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Neither do I. (Even less than that tbh) But saying that you expect to have a bandwidth monitor in myvirginmedia.com so I think they might have just changed the limits (maybe less than there are now since they have increased the percentage of stm'ed figure.
We will all find out on Monday what they are do.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
stm is a pain in the ass. I wish they would just give us the option to pay the un-discounted price of £35 and keep things as they are.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
I dont think you get more than that out of any VM staff here, they dont seem to want to say anything outside of offical announcements.
Most likely reason is VM realised they couldnt handle un STM'd 100mbit and had a choice of STMing it or increasing prices to make it viable to pay for upgrades, the latter I suspect needed a price much higher than £35 a month.
Another possible reason is they felt takeup was too low which looked bad on shareholder reports so dropped the price to get higher takeup and in that instance they prefer to sell a more crippled product with the same headline speed (in fact will be higher headline speed) but with higher takeup due to the lower price. Government pushing may also have had an affect on this as ministers want more people on higher speeds.

And your reason for that unwarranted little dig, I take it you received some minor form of pleasure from it.
If you expect us to release company confidential information at your beckon call let me tell you its NOT going to happen.

Given that they would probably lose their job if they did, I am quite happy for them not to.

So, just just mindless speculation from you then with no basis other than something against VM by the sound of it.
