on earth we pay for it with our money and i dont know about you but i'm sure you wouldn't like to give 37 pounds to me or anyone else here
for nothing would you? if you would i'll send my paypal to you. but i somehow feel you wont want to give us all money for nothing.
well were paying all this money to use the service from 1am -10am ? 37 pounds?
How about "Customers throttle their payments back 75%"

We are paying £37 to share a connection, people have apparently been taking more than a 'fair' share & VM have introduced measures to try & make the available bandwidth more evenly distributed.
The arguments for & against this principle have been argued in several threads before this, right from the introduction of the STM procedure - all that has changed is the details.
You can 'throttle your payment' - go onto the lowest tier & pay £18, if everyone with a beef about STM did this then VM might take more notice....
The one thing I do agree with is that they should drop the 'unlimited' description from their advertising, but otherwise I see this along the lines of 'if you can't share nicely by yourselves, then I'm going to do it for you'.
Some people seem to have the attitude that they are paying for a service that allows all subscribers to simultaneously download at full whack, 24/7 - that is not now, nor has ever been, the case.
I've said before that just because you pay water rates does not mean you are therefore entitled to run your taps all day & all night, because that is 'what you pay for' ??
