Re: Pathetic excuse.
 
The trouble with some people insisting that VM should provide usage data for comparison rather than getting it themselves is a bit daft. Do we really think the the people asking for it will actually believe VM if it doesn't say what they want? Then they will be back at the point of having to get the information themselves to prove VM wrong anyway.

However as it's a lot easier to just say "that isn't right" without being able to prove it, I shan't hold my breath.

it's one thing to say you've not hit the STM limits but its another thing to *proove* you're STMd. Getting under 5mb on a 20mb connection is not proof.

Almost exactly 5Mbit downstream and 192kbit upstream is usually pretty unequivocal though.

TBH when downloading from Giganews hitting 20Mbps for 20mins of so then all of a sudden a drop to a constant 5Mbps is more than enough proof imo. ;)

The bottom line is that VM is all mouth and no trousers. They want to offer high speeds so they can get the big numbers on their adverts, but don't actually want to provide it.
