I used to be with VM though and the STM during 4-9pm was more than a slight annoyance.

Glad i got rid of them as i knew this was going to be rolled out nationally.

I think someone hit the nail on the head earlier when they said (on another forum) VM are turning into another tiscali, only more expensive.

I thought you went over to a VM Business Line Traxdata with NO STM, please correct me if im wrong?
Why did you ditch that? VM Business lines no good? (Just interested mate)

Yep...i finally gave in and left them, lost phone, tv, bb and business bb and the much higher package (nearly 1k/month) BB from a business i run with someone.

I have made sure to tell other busineses about how they will be treated with VM as well.

The business i run with someone else now uses verizon (100mbit symetrical @ £120/month) which truely is unlimited. special offer price though ;)

And when at home (at parents now as im ill, in/out of hospital for a while) i'm on 25mbit symetrical (sometimes reaches upto 100mbit) for £50/month.

Dont miss VM one bit.

people keep saying overnight STM isn't in trial but people also kept saying don't be stupid
they wont ever STM twice in a day, Trax said previous about other STM's and everyone
was like your smoking the crack pipe.

if the've gone and done it once, then twice, and i assure you once everyone starts
to move their downloading habits through the night they will i assure you move the
STM limits over night, they've already proved this TWICE when will you people take
the blinkers off, they've already done it twice already what's stopping them?

but then again some people's attitude would be "well i am quite ok with being raped"
well sorry but when I'm paying for something i don't like being pillaged daily for the hell of it.

mmmm, good comparison - rape versus Traffic Management.

Obviously a committed feminist.........

Where are you getting those figures from?

You can download 3GB before STM cuts in, then around 2GB / hour once it has, where does the 1.4GB come from?

Ever tried downloading while your being stm'd and trying to use the net at the same time? its impossible, makes you feel like ur on dial up.

Thus when your stm'd ur connection is only really useful for browsing.

Thanks Traxdata. I was trying to think of a nice way of putting it. People seem to think that STM isn't that bad... In fact it cripples my service completly.. That's why I said I can only download 1.4 GB Between 10am and 9pm. basically I can't download and browse normally at the same time after being STM'd.

Being STM'd isn;t a mild restriction of service.. It's like having there ful package with TV phone etc... But you can only use one at a time..How stupid.. Oh must turn the TV and Broadband off for a while I need to order a curry.... Get my meaning,..
