put simply its the upload/download ratio that kills your familys playability when its all going online at the same time and demanding its share of very limited upload bandwidth.

your quite right, the 20 MBit package only gives you 768kbit upload max and once STM kicks in it drops down to a Pitiful 192kbit (not even good enough for a single good quality webcam streamed video to your relatives online elsewere), and thats the best upload speed they provide.

your option to try and get a seperate stand alone cable modem service out of VM is a good one in your case, as you will then have double the above upload ratio No's to play with and you can spit the devices between them.

but your going to have to lie to a real person to do it officially, no "contact us " will ever get you what you want, that being Pay for a second VM BB service you want to use as you see fit.
