But I understand your viewpoint - just don't agree with it.  |
Ah I did use the disclaimer 'other measures' - in an ideal world VM would follow Comcast's approach of only having an STM-type system in place when congestion occurs. Blanket STM is the lazy way.
I would not be opposed to a decent cap along with prioritisation when congestion occurs though. It'd both help to mitigate network congestion, leave occasionally heavy users alone, and rid network of people downloading TB a month to shift in the street.
