Come on, this isn't rocket science. |
Oh I do understand, believe me I do.
Yes it is a stopgap, and this stopgap has helped my overall speeds during peak hours.
I for one applaud VM, its only those that are losing out on downloading so much material and swamping local connections or people who
CAN'T SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE that are moaning.
If by VM using STM to mangage their overall bandwidth consumption they are actually saving money on bandwidth not used, then funds may become availiable to increase the current infrastructure which will then allow more people to have a full speed internet connection 24\7 without raising prices.
