Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
how will people put up with this i mean look at the trouble it caused over the 4pm - 9pm time frame
now they’ve done it even worse no-one see’s to see the whole problem look at it this way
you hit your 6GB limit say within the 10AM time frame that’s 5 hrs throttled.
which then takes you to 3pm, then your un-throttled back to full speed up-to 4pm
from 4pm - 9pm if you hit your 3gb limit within the 4PM mark that takes you to 9pm,
now don’t forget you can trigger the STM within 1 min within 10am - 3pm /4pm - 9pm
so say you hit your trigger at 2:59pm, thats 8pm the first throttle will come off.
but you’ve already passed over into the 4pm -9pm throttle so that 8pm it removes.
who’s saying its not going to get mixed with the later STM so add 5 hours onto
9pm 1am - 10am your basically ever going to get 20mb.
probably got my maths all screwed up but you get the idea
what I’m trying to get at is, your allocated 3gb in peak time of full speed no STM right.
if you hit the STM at 2:59PM thats 5 hours STM’d right there basically NULLING out the
legitimate time you supposed to get 3GB allowance and no STM so you’ve basically got STM’d
all the way from Morning, Though till Noon, then Automatically hit Evening STM’
You can only use the connection un-throttled from 1am - 10am for now.
Pretty sneaky way of making sure within the 4pm - 9pm your STM’d regardless
of even touching the 3GB threshold, and how they getting away with this? easy really.
Regardless of how many people read this it could read Virgin stops users from ever connecting
but steals their money every month, and you know what? and i mean this …
People would continue to be the sheep and continue to follow without doing a damn thing about it.
you would all keep paying your £37 pounds to a company who’s now saying their fast BB is only to
be used between the hours of 1am - 10am… and where is the cost cutting? we don’t have any.
So the next Problem now is everyone will start downloading from 12am - 10am the network will
then get so congested they will start with STM from the 1am - 10am.
Virgin just cannot seem to understand people want to actually use their connections for what it
was originally created for, and now they are doing just that the ISPS were paying our money too
really doesn’t want to offer the service their offering and that were all paying for?
They don’t seem to get or understand swapping the times around all users will do is swap with them.
we started with .. 4pm -12pm, then dropped it to 4pm - 9pm what did users do?
they set their downloading from 1am - 4pm, now we have restrictions 10am - 3pm.
so users are going to set their downloads from 12am - 10am, so now your going to have
the entire country hammering the hell out of the connection from 12am - 10am so the speed
is going to be worse than ever during off peak time, so we’ve now created off peak time on peak.
and on peak time off peak,
Virgin people want to download people want to use their broadband for what it’s designed for.
and their using what they paid for, you advertised this is what it is for and when were doing just that
your hitting us with limits.
instead of shifting people around which is doing nothing only time shifting people why don’t you
just use the money were paying you to actually “Upgrade” the networks to cope?
