VM's throttling of their network is a joke. If their system cannot handle whatever traffic it has at the moment, then they should stop selling broadband, and upgrade their network. For every new or upgrading customer they get, the network is getting squeezed a little bit more. If parts of their network are that tight, they should not be allowed to further dilute the service they provide by adding more customers. What do you think would happen if they began removing all of the HD channels from their TV service, because their system couldnt cope with the amount of TV customers they had.

If they are moving towards a "Monthly Cap", they had better make it fair. Forget these quotes of 75 or 100gb a month for 10mb. It should be at least 5 times that, or make these amounts the "peak" time cap. I mean, who would want a service that only allowed you to download 2.5gb a day, regardless of what time it is downloaded.
