That doesn't reflect the changing demands of the internet user when more and more media is being streamed.

This is the problem isn't it, if we knew for example the network would be fully updated from say the end of the year, and then they were prepared to drop these stm limits, I feel people might be more inclined to accept it. But if they keep advertising as they do, taking more and more people onto the network and these stm times get longer and longer, who's going to want to pay out £40pm+ for 20mb or 50mb connection. Personally I think VM will have no choice but to eventually drop the "unlimited" tag and give each customer a base usage each month, then charge by the GB.
