Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!

The bandwidth should be available all the time, thats what you pay for, the convenience of using your connection when you want it, i'm not saying that you should be downloading 24/7 but if you get in from work, fire up your latest game and see you need a patch and start downloading it while watching some stuff on youtube why should you get managed? It makes no sense, you could download sod all in the day or night but if you want bandwidth at a time to suit you then you'll get penalised for it, Mr car boot whose connection is burning all day and night gets penalised the same as mr once a fortnight who downloads a patch and watches a few vids which takes him over the limit. where is the justice in that? And god help you if you're on adsl cos you'll get 8k/sec for a week during peak times, maybe they should inflict that on the 1% of heavy downloaders rather than imposing the limits that are in place now, that way the heavy users will get hit and not the occasional over the limit downloader.
