Exactly!

That's why I was initially really pleased VM removed their letter policy as I downgraded my connection from 50mbit to 30mbit due to that. So it's a bit of an issue for them as I really don't see the point having a 100mbit connection that will get shaped when I try and usenet download. So now I think the letters were a good thing.

So my point is VM's strategy is all wrong, educate heavy users or do what telephone operators do and classify bandwidth as peak time and nonpeak time. So you can say off peak bandwidth is unlimited, peak is limited but to help everyone. Any of their competition who doesn't well good luck trying to deliver a service when people are downloading 1tb during peak hours a month!

Oh and it is annoying if people are hogging up all your roads bandwidth but rather than being upset at those people be upset at the company supplying your service. It's up to them to manage their own resources.
