VM offer excellent value for money for the majority of people. The only customers that are not happy, are the one's that expect £129 per month broadband service for £5.50 per month.

Anyhow, lets not miss the point, I currently don't have any issues with what I do with my BB, and I do more than most.

So to summarize this thread, maybe we're worrying unduly about future problems, from future technologies, that may or may not occur.
LOL!!! STM to get rid of P2P abusers? *laughing fit*

STM is there to make sure they can add more users to an already oversubscribed service while not having to upgrade any part of the network.

It has nothing to do with p2p users or heavy downloaders or people who affect the network, why do you think 2mbit users have been getting stm'd and getting letters from VM?!"!!

Err no, the ones that are not happy are the ones who come home from a hard days work and expect to be able to use the net they are paying for, for just a few hours, without being classed as an abuser and getting 75% of their connection taken away from them, actually.

Heavy users could care less about STM, they just download overnight.

But overnight STM is being trialled as is application throttling etc.

That's funny, i have unlimited broadband, im hitting 5-7TB/Month right now with 25/25 connection...and 2-3TB/Month with the backup Be line..oops..no stm crap, no traffic shaping, no application throttling.

Some of us know people very high up and already know what VM have in their mind for the future and it sure aint pretty.
