I'm by no means a heavy net user, the 2 Mbps service does me just fine, and using the speed test link here, that's just about what i've always had.
For the past few days though, it's been around 0.4 Mbps consistently (just tested again).
STM? Probably. Another nail? Certainly.
If they can't afford to provide the service I pay for, they should put the price up and I will decide to stay or not.
And on top of this, they are chumming up with phorm. 
It's only the thought of paying BT for a line that has stopped me binning VM months ago. |
I was lucky I had a link to half price line which helped was also the reason I moved back when I did, didn't want to mis the half price them VM say they were rolling out Phorm.

It has to be said that you bend my head, but after re-literation occasionally a gleam of meaning is revealed.
I'm worried for my sanity  |
Every needs to worry about their sanity once phorm is on the system those connected via it will become brainwashed zombies

Its only a small box of facts in the Technology Section.
"18.9 million. The number of web pages reportedly injected woth adverts tailored to UK users' habits in a covert trial of the Phorm ad-serving system"

With such a large amount bet most are american websites so not really relevent...
Just how much of the customers download bandwidth limit are the phorm adverts going to use?
Will the ISP limit the adverts to small none coloured or flash content which are more bandwidth greedy?
Will Phorm be given freedom to decide how much customers bandwidth they waste with these adverts?
What happens if the customer starts to block advert content?
I can go on
