The only solution even worth considering is upgrading the network to cope instead of trying to slow people down. Unfortunately VM only care about the headline numbers.

It will be interesting to see what happens with 50 meg, now that (as predicted) it's become something of an EPIC FAIL. Not only does it fail to deliver the promised speeds to paying customers, but it's given a free speed boost to all the cloners.

Actually, it looks like VM's plan was to release an update to kill all the cloned modems to make way for 50 meg, but a fix already exists. Apparently VM never learn.
