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.

anyway, weathers crap!

There are no massive profits... Where do people get this idea from

instead of rolling out 50mb, update 20mb to 30mb with a 2.5mb upload. and for the lower packages just have 5mb and 10mb...its really simple....isnt it? |
If large numbers of people (enough to make a petition worth while) were getting STM'd every day. Then VM would be hitting more than 5% of users per day and therefore would have to increase the volume limits.
If everyone just used the internet as they wish getting STMd when they go over the limits then the % caught will rise.. If people change their behaviour to download outside the STM hours then it keeps the capture rate down and therefore enables VM to leave the limits alone.. If the % captured goes up the volume limits have to go up also!
