Yes but I'm not a heavy downloader and I can fall foul of the STM any time.I would far rather VM actually went after the heavy downloaders and sorted them out instead of penalising me for occasionally downloading just above the STM limit set for 2MB.It's really annoying when I've purchased something for my 3D art and I have to wait to download it whenever the STM doesn't kick in...It was easy to know when that was at one time.Now we don't know quite when we are safe..we just have to trust to luck it would appear.

Even with the downloading that I do I still don't come anywhere near what some heavy users do and I feel quite peeved since VM changed the rules again without telling anyone first.

Anyone else would tell their customers about changes to their service BEFORE implementing them but not VM apparently.
