7gb.

1000k = 1mb
1000mb = 1gb (in your case 7000mb = 7gb)
1000gb = 1tb
1000tb = 1pb

My experience with TBB when I was on 50Mbps was that it never read much over 30Mbps for me and that was borne out by checking what my Tomato router was measuring. I never did get to the bottom of it because speedtest.net alsway showed 50Mbps (or at least did until (I'm guessing here) VM sold 100Mbps to a torrent freak then I was lucky to get 20Mbps anywhere so I downgraded to 10Mbps).

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
OK for what? VM won't moan about it if that's what you mean. Your previous months average was 2GB per day.

Is around 210Gb a month which isn't a massive amount, as long as it legal downloads then your fine.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
As it's a major change to VM broadband services, shouldn't this get a news article of it own subject on the main page? Would be handy as no one got any warning about it.

Unfortunately it seems that nobody knows what the news section should be for around here! I mentioned a few months ago about this, the moderators should really be moving threads such as these to the right sections. In fact this should be stickied here, and duplicated in the news section.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
yeah that is a good point, enough people ask questions about traffic management and we seem to have a neverending debate over it

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
I believe the STM rates are still being applied at cutting back by 75%, at least here in Welwyn Garden City.

I've just been watching the baseball for 3 hours. Just done a Speedtest.net test and I'm running at 7.92 Mbps which is pretty much spot on 25% of what I usually obtain when it's running at full speed on my XL30 (to be doubled to 60) connection.

So what happened to the 50% reduction?!

I'm still getting hammered after just an hour of TV. iPlayer becomes unusable. God I hate VM and their lies.

Just been speaking to Calum at the helpdesk who works in this country. Must remember to buy a Euromillions ticket tomorrow as the stars are clearly aligned in my favour! He spoke to his second line.

Apparently the old STM rates are still in force until your area has been doubled. So even though the table on the website says XL30 is cut by 50% from April 2nd, in fact it only goes to 50% once you have been doubled to XL60. Until then, XL30 remains at 75%.

Accepting the above, it makes the table they published complete B/S really. They are masters at digging holes for themselves.
