Also with regards to STM, I know that I'd rather have STM in it's current format than a hidden FUP. I've fallen foul of the FUP's with Demon and Orange (both I now know set at 40GB a month) if you go over that for a couple of months then you get throttled during the day for the following months until your total throughput (up and down) is below that figure (down to 512Kb with orange and 128Kb with demon)
Even the new ADSL2+ ISP's have FUP's, just that some of them currently haven't decided yet to enforce them...

A Haircut then........you wouldnt like to get half way through a haircut and the hairdresser turn round and say you have used your fair share of electricity, no more clippers...instead we're going to use tweezers...you get the same end result, its just so much slower and painful to get there.
It's these people who keep justifying the STM etc that will allow VM to keep these measures in place, they will just keep pushing to see how far we will all go. Why justify it, why do you ALLOW yourself to be pushed around by the company you pay to do so? There is no need for STM or the like if the company spent some of its mass profits in upgrading the network where needed, not introducing 50MB with pathetic limits, just bring it down to 10MB and remove the limit. We dont need faster broadband, its fast enough because we're throttled most of the time there is no point. VM should realise that (in my oppinion!!!! ) the majority of XL customers want to download and watch VOD etc, we're not able to do so to the best of our ability unless we stay up till gone midnight.
Those of you that think that your not downloading during the day is somehow making someone else's broadband experience better are sadly mistaken. They wont notice the few k/sec difference and even better, you encourage VM to sign up more people in that area without upgrading....thanks.
