Hi kwikbreaks Thanks for your response

Yes was running around 5000kbs during downloads but my first inkling that i was infringing on their acceptable use policy was when i received their letter on the 16th july 10 so I gave VM a call today and was told that this is a standard letter they send to customers when they see unusually high usage between the busy 9am-9pm period and all they are asking me to do is to move the bulk of my downloading to outwith these times.They were not able to give me any figures of what is acceptable between the hours of 9am-9pm so any big stuff i might want i will download outside these hours. I dont have a problem with this and I will do as they suggest but the point i was trying to make in my initial post was whats the point of introducing a 400mb download speed when there are all these restrictions on lesser ones such as traffic shaping and acceptable use policy and whatever else is in force at this time--regards
