As you know full well, because they signed up for a contended connection that isn't 'fat' enough to allow everyone to download at the advertised speeds at the same time.
Yes I know that it shouldn't be that way but the reality of VM's finances mean that is the position.

I usually download between 100-150GB/month and have hit the STM limits twice (once deliberately just to check it was working!) -- it's only appalling if you ignore the thresholds and/or have no patience.
