true take us charge by X gigs used over set limit.
To be honest STM should be two way.
If you dont use the allocated allowance you should be allowed to go over your limit.
That way it would be lot fairer system.
Also pass through data should not be counted its not your traffic. Web browsing is another which should be omitted unless stream sites.
Only streaming , downloading should be counted.
I knew Vm would run into trouble once iplayer, channel4 vod, itv hit the webs. Really its questionable these also should not count.
This is ontop of xbox, ps3 traffic of gigs downloadable content from demos, games movies. Youtube and any other vid sharing. To cap it lot of websites gone java flash based and sites now are much bigger due to the overly use flashy graphics.
All this is grinding broadbands to meltdown. This could easily been predicted and the ISP's been guilty sitting on there backside and just over subscribing networks raking the money. In defence for VM there is also the freeloader issue which needs to be solved of the dodgy modems which must be effecting badly.
But they been quite happy raking there monies in for all us to do simple things like browse the web of non flash based sites. Using a fraction of our bandwidth. But when all of sudden the average user has to umph its usage just to even browse the internet. Then we get the new super nice new things like the online vods the hungry new consoles. They start panicking and STM.
This not a rant againt VM every single ISP provider has ample opportunity to be warned the internet would blossom and the average person would have to use more gigs,
Lets not forget the average patch for pc games has grown over a gig. Its not hard to imagine you could easily hit these meagre limits very easily doing rather very little.
