The next phase will be to gradually reduce the amount you can download before STM cuts in, I await Traxdata's next announcement.
Branson does not OWN virgin Media.He has merely allowed the Virgin trade mark to be used in return for financial gain.

The failures of VM are down to those who were so hopeless at running NTL before the merger with telewest.

But of course it's much easier to blame the hirsute one than the real villains.

Agreed coggy, out of everyone I imagine Richard Branson is pretty peeved with the almost daily drip, drip of bad news coming out of VM. He must have asked himself why he ever got involved with this bunch of amateurs, all they have managed is to bring the Virgin brand down, down and down. In my opinion the first half decent offer he receives you won't see him for dust.

I was on the trial STM being 10am to 3pm and 4pm to 9pm before they rolled it out nationally. I have had to put up with this for over 2 to 3 months now. I get the feeling they will push the STM times more and more, just to see what they can get away with.

I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that STM can only affect customers once every 24 Hours. Could I just download 2GB in the morning when I'm at school and then be STM-free for the rest of the day, or will VM change the rules?

^ oh if its like that then im kind off ok with it...

Q. Can you trigger STM more than once over a 24 hour period?
A. Under the existing rules, No.

Time to kill off morning STM here...then keep 4-9pm free :)

It can effect you more than once.

What will happen if you're still affected by the daytime STM at 5pm and will then be affected by the evening STM at the same time!

Ridiculous i know! So much for 'unlimited' broadband, well this is a limit isn't it, one that limits how much you can download in a certain space of time

"In extreme cases ...... that'll have an impact on just 1% of our customers".

That sounds like a huge number of people. What is the number in less "extreme cases", 10%, 25%, 50% ??????

I am a very light user and have never been concerned by any of this but if a letter like that arrived on my doorstep, I would be disgusted and would have a heck of a lot more to say about it.

I don't think much of the condescending language VM seem to use these days either.

I know that Branson does not own VM, but he IS a major shareholder.
The ntl board thought his brand would be the answer to all their problems so we can assume that they value, and take heed of, his input at meetings.
