Heh... I've just ditched VM, after 15 years as a cable customer - first East Lancs Cablevision, which was taken over by Cable & Wireless, then NTL and finally VM. I had Cable broadband for 6 years+ and the only serious problems I ever had started when VM took over.

As an ex-NTL customer I can confirm that yes, since VM took over, throttling or shaping on P2P is very evident. I was struggling to download an Ubuntu distro recently - under NTL it might have taken the best part of a day (on 2Mb connection), but after VM's interference in the WAY I was using the bandwidth I was paying for meant that the same size of distro was taking a couple of weeks or more! It doesn't just seem to be a case of throttling though - more like packets being deliberately dropped for torrents.

I can happily say I'm out of the VM hell now - got a nice 8Mb ADSL2 connection, which is actually giving me 8.4Mb. And it's free for 12 months!!! Sorry VM, you can't beat that deal mwuhahaaaa. I never wanted a BT line before (this recent crap is the reason I've had to get one after 15 years as a cable customer), but VM have just added to one of their main competitors' profits and lost 70 quid a month+ as I've also ditched all the TV and phone services too. It's Skype for me from here on in, and the Freeview HDD does everything a VM+ box does and more for a one off payment. Happy days

So I say, yeah, make the leap - after all VM are only interested in NEW customers and treat the ones they already have with contempt!

I think he's talking about his router stats and what he's connected at.

But you have to admit that you cannot connect to a dslam with ADSL Max at 8.4 mb

If he had put 7.4 then i might have understood but not 8.4mb

You would probably benefit more using http://www.18185.co.uk/index2.php now that you have a BT line.

No-one sells 8Mb ADSL2...but people are told what to expect, if he's been told to expect about 8Mbps due to distance then he could be above or below that figure
