So if you are not one of the 5% why are you so uptight about STM?

What I mean is that I will believe that VM are advertising incorrectly if you, or any other member, has been cut off of the VM broadband for downloading more than 3 gigs during peak hours. Only then will I start worrying about STM.

In my opinion, people are over-reacting about this, the same way we're all going to die in our beds if we keep on driving petrol cars. I'm out on this one, I've said all I've got to say, and I'm going to stop defending the masses. *If* VM Broadband is as bad as a few of you are saying tell me:

Why they've been voted best consumer IP?
Why Broadband customer churn is only 1.6%?
Why VM have got 4 million broadband customers?

we could talk about how they might better up the ARPU and increase userbase and i beleave there a some good ways to do that,but thats perhaps OT for this thread.
How on earth are VM American? Virgin is owned by Richard Branson last time I looked. A guy born and bred in the UK...?
