Pound signs. How little bandwidth can we allocate per customer while keeping them vaguely happy.

Shame really. My browsing on VM is the fastest that it ever has been even with a Be connection that was a similar speed, but if I find my occasional bursts of heavier usage crippled, both in terms of volume and the protocol I am using they can have the cable modem back.

As a World of Warcraft player I rely on Bittorrent to bring me updates in a timely fashion. This is a perfectly legal use of the protocol. It's one thing forcing me to try and avoid STM, quite another to cripple my use of the protocol as it's on a not wanted list.
