If you are going to have a go at least do your homework first

Let me make a point here. I am a heavy downloader and i don't like STM at all, What i hate more are those that download 24/7 because they can. It has been stated by buggerlugs that he will download as much as he can and even if he does not want it or needs he will do that.

Now that is just taking the **** and gives VM every reason they need to put STM on there network. If numpty's did not download everything just because they can and then admit they did not need to and are doing it just to make a point, Then how can we try to get VM to remove the STM, We cannot while numpty's do that.

VM are about to start 50 meg according to certain webforums, They have already said they are going to STM it, Wonder if they did that because there are those that download just to say they can ???????

No you are wrong, I didnt miss that, downloading rubbish he doesnt use is still downloading what he wants, it just doesn't fit in with your outlook so you'd rather suggest I missed it, so you can repeat what you already said.

And its a fair point, I just dont agree. The reason they put STM on was to resell our peak time bandwidth to 3 other people, without having to spend 1p on hardware capacity.

Its all about the peaktime numbers at the time of day thats been traditionally oversubscribed since the introduction of 0800 dialup. Its nothing new, just VM has chosen to do it in an anti customer way, keeping it quiet from all advertising and pointing the finger for its introduction at a subset of users, rather than themselves for choosing that route to increase the precious peaktime bandwidth.

Nothing to do with one user with a gripe. Let him carry on and put the blame to VM for creating that kind of attitude in someone in the first place.
