Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

Has anyone checked the ever changing T&C's which magically appear to update whenever anything like this gets leaked??!?!

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

Well judging by the letter I received a few weeks ago about the STM and the new daytime STM, im inclined to agree with Traxdata's claims.

As for the port throttling on newsgroups, well that will be me off, I have paid full price for about 4 years. for my broadband and TV.

If VM are reading this, you throttle ports on usenet/p2p, you would be upsetting a lot of customers inc myself.

I was downloading loads under Telewest and never got stm'd

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

You wasnt in the trial area.

It was very well known that telewest were running STM trials and it was due to be implemented across the telewest network before the merger took place.

Which is why i laugh at people who think telewest was good :p:

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

O well atleast the speed was stable unlike my 20Mb speed with bursts of 18Mb and stable speed of 6Mb

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

I know who i believe. I seem to be on an over night STM trial which they say they are not doing. Yet i seem to be on one :confused:

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

Have you not rang TS Sirus lol

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

Since when have TS ever been told about trials. I can bet you that they will just say its my connection even when it matches the STM exactly.

Will run tests tonight via a linux machine with MRTG on it and graph the lot.

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

We don't agree on very much.. But on this one we do.. STM came out of Telewest.

They were trialling in the Preston Region for almost 18 Months before it say national deployment post merger.

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

They say speed limits affect only top 5% which is a lie. It affects everyone who downloads. Why would I have 20mb service just so I could surf webpages? I might as well use dial up then. I played MGS4 online today and after a while my connection was so unstable (because I was being capped) that I had to stop playing.

The only bright side is that I can leave it on overnight but if they start managing traffic during night as well than that would be it.

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

Hence the LOL at the end of my post

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

There's 2 things that are going to happen here.

1 is when they do implement application management, whether it be throttling or whatever. they will have proved that they lied. and can't be trusted to ever tell the truth resulting in everyone leaving and the company goes bust.

2 is they change their mind and don't go ahead with implementing application management in any shape or form.

Wonder which one they are gonna go for? :D :LOL:

Re: Application Throttling/Management
 

Will give you an answer to that question by tomorrow morning ;)
