I think it's basically a poor attempt to nudge everyone onto a higher package that they dont need. also the traffic shaping we have isn't merely prioritising certain types of traffic it is a solid 50% reduction in speed once you go over an extremely low, set amount of bandwidth between 4pm and 12am.

Surely the solution to congestion on the network isn't to offer higher speeds? or are they relying on people to upgrade out of frustration to something they previously didn't need?
I couldn't agree more! and now it's coming to light that a lot of people are experiencing the throttling activating without going anywhere near the limit.
