To be honest, I thought those complaining about STM were just moaning for the sake of it, but now I've realised I'm wrong - and many of you are right.

To quote VM's website, it specifically says here: "What does unlimited broadband mean? No download limits. Unlike some of our competitors, you get unlimited downloads as a basic right so you can load up on music, films...whatever you're into."

I'm at work all day, and don't use consoles etc so considered size L to more than meet my needs, but with this new policy I can only really download ONE DVD length movie of decent quality (paid for, of course) during evening/weekend hours.

Not my idea of "loading up on music, films...whatever I'm into." Fair enough it's not in Edinburgh yet, but that's not a way to run a network. In fact, that makes it even more unfair penalising users based on their geographic location.

Keep up the pressure on VM guys.
