If VM's intention is to drive the "Connected Home" ideal then they must expect we will all start using our newly available bandwidth and get frustrated when we're STM'd. I believe, however, that this is no more than a marketing gimmick. I hope it won't come back to bite them in the backside but suspect like many recent upgrades it will.
With all due respect I doubt it.10MB will be the new 2MB.Everyone wanting speed will have moved on up already leaving us who browse and email with the odd download here and there, to be happy as Larry...
