I think this thread is getting way out of hand openly flaming members of this forum isn't good for anyone IMHO. VM really have made a complete cock up with this one, it cannot be just a coincidence that they implement TSM just as they go to 20mb really was a dumb move on there part. A hell of a lot of areas cannot sustain a constant 10mb let alone 20mb. So people leave there downloads (illegal or not makes no difference what you download) till after midnight and then the complaints will begin cos everyone is hitting it at the same time and the speeds are crap. TSM is there to try and make the network cope with all the increased bandwidth that is going to be used so everyone has a better internet experience, fine by me but at the end of the day VM really should have made sure they could supply the required bandwidth before selling it. The demand is there but the supply clearly isnt isn't in some areas. I really don't care about TSM or 20 mb but if my connection goes to pot because VM cannot supply my service what i pay for and they agreed to then i will complain, same as when they get it right i say so i certainly will not vehemently defend a company that is at best unable to cope with the problems that they are experiencing and will continue to experience no matter how much TSM is implemented.
