Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
I bet lower 30 Meg will be worse off on STM then the higher one 120 Meg.
I hope 30 Meg will allow 10Gb per day or 310Gb per month before it kick in STM with 50% reduce in speed from 30 to 15 Meg ?

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Its not as bad as I thought.
The only niggle I have is waiting for double speed (from october mine apparantly is). As soon as you have double speed your quota gets doubled. Like the way it only halves though.
(XXL 50 is 10 gig daytime , 5 gig 4-9 )
(XXL 100 is 20 gig daytime , 10 gig 4-9 )

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Was there any need to do that?

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
New STM isn't that bad at all. But, will they restrict on BBCi player, Skygo, YouTubes, Skype video chat ?

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
So, going from 20Mb to 60Mb (as per the planned upgrades) means that the peak time download limit goes from 3500MB to 5000MB. Proportionately that's a lot worse. Though I guess the 50% reduction still gives more than 20Mb was to start with.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
A bit confused. I'm on 10MB (though I only get about 3MB) . I won't be "upgraded" until October 2012 - July 2013.
Therefore this doesn't affect me
right?

Correct. The management on M 10, L 10 and XL 20 hasn't changed

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Just as well my area is due to be upgraded this month to 100mb. I feel sorry for those on 50mb that's going to have a long wait.

Re: Traffic Management Changes - April 2nd
Mines due March/April (I presume it's now April  ) but as I download everything about 7-9am It's not going to be an issue on the current 50Mb
