The network gets unstable and more people have problems as a result of your actions. Thank you very much indeed kind sir. You may have won your court case but you fluffed the network up for the vast majority of users who have no problems at all.  |
You really do believe VM's guff on STM I see
STM is in place because VM when they rolled 20Mbit didn't have the bandwidth to support it, and have done thousands of upgrades since its' rollout to try and push towards having enough bandwidth to support the products they have been selling..
Nothing to do with heavy users at all, you don't like heavy users you boot them, VM just didn't have the bandwidth to offer 20Mbit on a fully unlimited basis. Heavy users cause the most problems but for the most part VM just didn't have the local bandwidth at the MAC domain level to handle the tiers of service they have been selling.
Who knows it may encourage VM to continue their upgrade programs in order to offer their full range of services with no STM, or to look into alternate management systems.
Unlimited is just a PR title, VM have been unable to sustain an unlimited service since the 20Mbit deployment and are fully aware of this, hence STM and why it was deployed alongside 20Mbit.
