Makes me wonder when 24Hour STM is coming. and then will be the time that virgin can no longer claim there service is unlimited.

STM in my mind is all related to the BPI/illegal software download issue.
Id like to bet if Virgin are successful in curtailing customers and or facilitating the prosecution of customers dowloading pirated software etc many of the capacity issues would be overcome until such time as a majority of customers are using the internet for TV/pay per view etc related services. What else is going to eat up the bandwidth on an average domestic connection ?
They nominally get round the issues of STM in the contract we all sign but it remains to be seen if it is enforceable.
The upload is a different matter.
