It was actually VM tech support that offered the student theory. In a city like Leicester with thousands of students it will obviously be a factor, however to use this as an excuse is unacceptable.

They know where the students are, and their habits, they should plan and accommodate them.

Offering cheap 9 month contracts in August is only going to obviously attract more users.

I really think that us here are the tip of the iceberg, most users dont even know there's a problem.

I just hope the delay in the increased uploads and 100Mb is to make sure the network is robust enough to cope.
