If you feel that VM are ripping you off, then write and complain; downgrade your connection; demand a discount; or dump your cable connection and switch to ADSL. There's at least a chance that letting VirginMedia know that you are unhappy might persuade them to change their policy.
But adding another, increasingly hysterical, claim of how STM will endanger the planet on CableForum will get you nowhere. And criticizing helpful and knowledgeable people like homealone is out of order. Please stop it.

I probably would not be bothered IF STM started at 9.00pm as I'm usually not far off going to bed (6.00am - 6.00pm shifts) BUT I'm in the Manchester area where STM is between 4.00pm (before I finish work!) and 12.00 am (when I'm in bed!). OK I may "ONLY" work 4 days a week but work 48 hrs pw. My employer expects and pays for those 48 hours. How would he react if I said I was only working 40 of those because he was working me too hard???
ATM the STM restricts me at EXACTLY the hours I am available to use the service when I finish work. Don't forget I'm in "yet another Trial Area" which means 750MB download within the hours of 4.00pm and 12.00am.
I am an XL subscriber and paying a premium for it. I could go on but I won't, at least I got a tech support guy to admit that VM are lying b******s
