[quote=Sirpingalot;34495189]It seems rather obvious if you consider that if bandwidth is shared equally (relative to what tier you're on) then if one person with this ideal setup is having speed problems then most others within the network (UBR) are. And we can only THINK because we aren't given the facts. Forums are the breeding grounds for thinking!

Lets use that logic the othe way then.
If one person on a UBR is getting full speed we can then assume most others are as well (same logic,different starting point).If they're not and,using your logic they should be because the bandwidth is shared equally,it must be because their setup is different in someway to that one person that is.If it's their setup that's causing the problem then that isn't VM's problem (unless it's the supplied VM equipment) it's the customers.
In other words,as long as one customer in an area gets full speed then VM have no problems in that area.....it's all down to the customers equipment.

That's obviously NOT true tho.....whichever area you go to you'll find some people with problems and some people without problems......the relative ratios of those two groups may vary ,but you'll find both groups.
You can't draw any meaningful conclusions from an example of one.
