To prevent such a problem the utility companies have fair usage policies that prevent you drawing water at too high a rate from the system. If you want more water then you need a business supply paid for at business rates. If you want your internet connection of business quality the answer is simple pay business rates for it but while you are on a domestic tariff consider the others that share your bandwidth and only consume what you genuinely need.

In other words "play nicely".
Again I'm not sure of your point as you have answered your own question.

I have no responsibilty to you or any other network user. It is VM's draconian throttlling that is the answer for you.

I pay for 20mbit "unlimited use" because that is what i want to use.
VM choose to restrict my 20mbit use quite a lot "to help other networkwork users" - thats your consideration for other people, they have dealt with it.

What I am left with I choose to use as much as i can - that is after they have taken you into consideration. So its not even an issue for you is it.

I am a heavy user, However i dont download for downloading's sake or to get at VM.
Please dont revert to name calling.

You totally miss the point - if it wasnt for their STM i wouldnt need to watch my bandwidth 24/7 and feel that I'm being robbed in the first place.
