You realise that all you'll be doing is reducing the connection speeds for your neighbours and other users on the same UBR?
Okay so VM might get a few more phone calls (at the premium rate) from frustrated customers but do you think that'll change anything?
Seems like a particularly unhelpful suggestion -- hope you don't live anywhere near me!

If that's really the case, I'd suggest you contact Tech Support as it could mean there's a problem with the STM settings for your UBR.

Dunno about you but I experienced years of continual frustration with ADSL (everything from pathetic service from BT to incompetent and rip-off ISPs) but since joining VM I've had a reliable and fast (within 90% of maximum speeds) connection with only three short disconnections in the last two and a half years.
I'd hate to have to return to ADSL. |
iv spoken to VM about it in the past & all that they could say was dont download at all then. my connection has been p*ss poor, its taken them just under three years & five modems later to be able to give me a connection thats on 24/7 without cutting off at least four times a day.
