Dear god why the hell do they advertise how fast you can download a HD film, when you are only able to download 2 before you get bummed by the STM. In my opinion it should only be limited to people who use the top 3-5% in that area and they would get max 2MB connection. This stops people who are genuinely trying to download content and not abusing the connection being punished. There are no hard limits on Sky so i dont see why there should be with Virgin. Its simple, just punish the people who are REALLY abusing the connection or dont oversubscribe without having the nessesary equipment and bandwidth.
