As I've stated before, although I don't like STM, throttling, etc. I won't dispute that I'd be classed a heavy user in most ISPs eyes. I'm happy to work within the reasonable boundaries they set (i.e. scheduled overnight) if necessary but if the goalposts are moving quicker than I can shoot I may as well not bother working with them.

And before someone says "if you dont like it leave", I'm pretty much limited ot cable as I'll only get about 2 meg on ADSL where I am. That doesn't mean I have to like VMs policies though.
That is a tad unfortunate.

I'm lucky i get decent ADSL speeds but if i End up somewhere with cable and only slow ADSL speeds available id probably end up making the same desision as yourself.
