I use torrents and although I don't pay for my service, I'd be royally fooked off if I cant use it ..

Im not a fan of shaping and its a cheap way out for VM, the proper solution is for them to either stop selling unlimited and place hard limits or to spend some serious wad on upgrades. They dont look like doing neither any time soon so this may be the stop gap solution. Although this wont resolve it for me off peak as it will only be a peak time system. In some areas I think VM have seriously under provisioned and probably would need a 4-10 fold increase to catch up on capacity which is how this situation has came about. Also consider how severe the congestion can get, some people have packetloss of over 10% for over 10 hours a day, with that kind of packet loss you wont be doing much unlimited usage as hardly anything will work.

very good points, from where he sits VM are saints, free broadband which up to this point has served him well on torrents. However without thinking how bad some people have got it on VM, people who do pay for their service.
