I remember a similar situation - an electricity network, so overloaded, that the voltage dropped from 240V to 150, 160 volts in peak hours. The solution that the electrical company implemented, was 3 to 1, which means you have electricity for 3 hours, after that 1 hour ... you get the picture. There was, of course, another solution - increase the production of electricity, but this required money to be put into it... So can you imagine how many happy customers this electric company had?
I can give the rest of the story - this happened in the eighties in an Eastern European country. Some ten years later, the people running the country were thrown out of leadership, and put to trial.
Now if you're clever enough, you'll make your own comparisons and conclusions. If, on the contrary, you are not, you'll continue to post here saying what a great job VM is doing and how well they manage their network. And you'll continue to call the people that put to use the service they are paying for 'abusers'.
