are you saying that surfing the web you dont need 20mb but can do it on 2mb so the majority dont care.....if thats the case those who are on 20mb and just surf give it back and go on 2mb....and say no to a free uplift.....i have always wanted the fastest and use the fastest, and i pay for that privelidge, i do all my downloading from 12am to 7am at 20mb thats enough but the network shaping is being done in areas to people who are obeying the rules, VM have not got the hardware to cope with the software restrictions and filtering...That is fact...ask any network engineer...that is what the problem is and VM is hiding the fact.....
