300mb is a couple of game trailers downloaded on xbox live. because my connection speed isn't that fast to begin with, it means stuff like game demos and movies that are digitally distributed over xbox live would take a matter of hours. when they cap you, it will take twice the amount of time, so what was like an hour and a half download, suddenly turns into 3 hours.
i pay money for xbox live. my usage of the service is being restricted so i'm losing out.

Some would say that 2Mb is insufficient for what you are trying to do with it.
BUT... we pay for
speed of connection not the amount that can be downloaded. So it may take five times longer to download a file on 2Mb than it does on 10Mb, that would be my choice.
SO... if VM are trying to force people to pay for a faster connection AND insist on keeping the crappy STM, maybe they should re-advertise the tiers as download thresholds rather than speed??
