I can't imagine any outcome of this case that would benefit customers, VM are already burdened with huge debts, they don't really have spare money to dish out in compensation and anything that this costs them, either in legal bills or as a result of any ruling, just ends up with less money going into the services we pay for and a worse service and maybe changes in their traffic management to hard capping. I'm happy with my services, I'm happy and have been since the introduction, with STM ,since the alternatives are much worse.

I'd rather things stay exactly as they are with VM trying to get the most out of their network and pushing speeds and services upwards, they do pretty well as it is considering their dreadful finanical situation.
