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. |
Pretty Much hit the nail on the head there. Maybe VM should try that for a month or so, then decide which is the best case of usage for thier customers & network performance. After all once people have download what they want when they want they are either going to run out of hd space, or get fed up of downloading random Junk for the hell of it.
Even when STM knocks off at 9pm, and people unrestrict thier torrent clients, the network is still alot faster than it is during the day.
As for the options id sooner they stay as they are even with STM, but with a little more uplaod speed
& a little xtra cost to go with it
