Seriously though, good luck Mike. I for one can see where you are going with this and hope to see common sense prevail, even though I don't exceed my limits or have issues with speed.
lol. Thank you.

The irony in all this is that I never exceeded my limits either. At the most about 50-70 research PDFs for postgraduate students during dissertation season. I willingly, and freely helped them. I never downloaded movies and only ever downloaded music when I needed to learn a tune. Having pointed all this out in 2007 and many times in 2008, asking VM to see reason, I took legal action as a last resort. All they needed to do was charge within a reasonable percentage for what I was receiving, which was often below 10Kb/s on the top package. Intransigence has seen many a corporate fall.

VM can still resolve the matter. If they valued long term high-paying customers, they would. It's so easy.
