I do understand what you mean though, for someone who downloads a lot lot more than average and downloads virtually constantly anyway, its not going to affect them in the slightest. |
I have to agree with this or to use another example when we used to have last orders 10.30pm most people would get as many drinks as possible now the licencing laws are different most people spread out the drinking through out the night, I think if there was not stm the average user would spread downloads though out a longer period and so the network would have a lower average load. I think the stm is a smokescreen for the fact that VM have totally oversold on there network and the only way to keep things under control is to
penalise people already on the network sorry for my grammer etc I have dyslexia.
