STM Trial times changed?

without informing us again.

Hi,
I'm in the wigan area and as far as I'm aware should be on the new stm trial
yet I've already been capped at around 250k/s it seems. This can't be right?

Quote:

It looks like they have changed the times (but not updated the website) I
will pass this on to the trial team.
Our apologies for the confusion during these trials as the STM peirods will
chop and change regulary.

Hi Mark,

I think it may be a case that your UBR is not subject to the STM trial.
We're looking into this now and will let you know once we have some more
information for you.

STM trial time changes have not been confirmed. Title is speculative. Shock, horror & surprise ;)

Update

Quote:

Wigan and Blackpool - http://www.virginmedia.com/help/traf...-blackpool.php
Preston (2 trial areas) - http://www.virginmedia.com/help/traf...nt-preston.php

I assume all other areas will therefore not be subject to any STM trial (thought there were more alongside Preston, Wigan and Blackpool).

I don't even understand it fully, but don't need to either!

Please not that Size: S and XXL customers are not affected. (their typo, not mine).

When copying from newsgroup posts can you please post all relevant information and not just snippets. Thanks.

Does anyone have a copy of the old STM table for reference?

Re: STM Trial times changed

Just looked at the traffic management and in my opinion the limits are too low the reductions too severe and time in sin bin far to long. Its appalling what these shisters are allowed to get away with. Why advertise how fast you can download HD content or the virtues of streaming this and that as it it advertised for. Virgin are nothing but lying theives.

Re: STM Trial times changed

Or are VM trying to mitigate the risk of the 50Mb roll-out to their transit/peering connectivity at the expense of M/L/XL customers?

smells a tad fishy to me.

This is getting beyond a joke now. They are pushing their luck more and more.

Re: STM Trial times changed

Release at 1am? This officially means that it is worse and more restrictive than current STM.

They're pushing their luck. I certainly won't be giving them a good name if this happens. If only sky or BE in this area could get 10mb/s+

I know that its scope is miniature - that's besides the point, they're experimenting with the most ludacris limits.

It's still 1 hour less than the current STM - where you can be managed to 2am

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:37.
