For the VM network it is the STM policy. You might not like it, but as AFAIK it is essential if the network providers are to provide a commercially viable service.

Ahh the old common sense arguement, i like it

its a nice way of explaining it..

People also need to realise that high speed broadband isnt a god given right & is not an essential utility, VM is there to make money from a contended service.

There's plenty of suppliers who can give you upto 2mb at lot lower price.
