So VM are claiming that d/l at 30 % of my max speed is having an adverse impact to other users and THAT is why they are threatening to take further action.

Also my usage is not 30%, but 30% at the times I am d/l - which is not the entire 9am - 9pm period! Other times it will be 0%.
As has previously been quoted, it isnt the SPEED you download at, but the AMOUNT OF DATA TRANSFERRED over the connection during those times.

Why don't you change your download patterns to 9pm-6am or something, which is out of peak times...?
