What use is it when your asleep? you cant game/play demos/watch iplayer while your asleep can you? are you superhuman? 
So basically your saying customers should pay £37 for that high speed connection so they can use it when they are in bed, you should work for VM, you'd make a great manager, neil has the same views, sell them something, just dont let them use it.  |
I don't think I'm any different to most people in that my 'take' on this is based on my personal useage/preferences, and I accept that other people will have different views - streaming media is one thing, for example, which I don't do & I can see how that being restricted by STM might upset some people.
Most of my bandwidth use, apart from normal browsing, is confined to downloads from usenet, which is very simple to organise to fall outside the STM 'windows' - even to the point of automatically turning the pc off when finished, if done overnight.
So I'm not such an apologist for VM as it might seem - however, your comment about 'why should they have to' is a little facile, imo - if you want something badly enough, then putting a little effort into getting it shouldn't be such a problem & while this isn't aimed at you, just sitting back & saying 'its not fair, why should I' doesn't really work. TANSTAAFL applies, in my opinion??
