thats is y that term is used. HOWEVER ITS NOT A JUSTIFICATION TO USE THAT "UP TO" TERM TO THROTTLE SPEED INTENTIONALLY.

SO ALL U PPL WHO KEEPS SAYING OH, THEY SAY "UP TO" PLZ GET UR FACTS STRIGHT.

no of course not unlimited speed, WHAT U talking about lol

the limit on speed are clear, 2mb, 4mb or 10mb?

so what the confusion there.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

You are never guaranteed to get a constant 2/4/20mpbs link. There are too many factors in that - servers you download from, network noise, traffic, etc etc, need I go on? And can you tell me what that has to do with Throttling? Up To advertising does not mean that they can throttle your speed intentionally, they need to throttle to stop people like you from maxing out your line and ruining everyone else on your UBR's broadband link. Yes, VM do have the technology to offer 20mb broadband, but the network will fail if all the 20mb users were maxing out thier line all the time.

As an example, everyone has a kettle right? If everyone in the country turned their kettle on at the same time there would be a surge at the power stations and the national grid probably wouldn't be able to cope. I think, rather than you telling the literate public to "GET UR FACTS STRIGHT" I think you should go and reconsider everything you've said. I can't take serious advice from someone who spells "nothing" with a K.

The only viable reason I can see that you want your broadband connection seperate from the STM implementation is that you can go and leech more porn and illegal downloads than anyone else. Grow up.

Oh, and its THING with a G, not somthink. No wonder you have bad reps!

How exactly? There has always been a FUP/AUP in place, just that the people who think this is an outrage have never read their contract, thats all...
