Cable Forum - View Single Post - New Acceptable Usage Policy from VM (discussion)

Seriously folks, VM will be working round the clock to increase capacity ready for the Youview release. If they don't, their network will grind to a halt when normal usage includes watching HD IPTV most evenings.

Yes, hard usage caps are an alternative, but that would mean huge numbers of customers being treated as net abusers which would finish VM so that won't be happening. Not to mention the fact that trying to sell a service where normal usage is crippled or banned for most customers nationwide is certainly against the rules as well as being morally bankrupt. This is not something VM could ever concieve of doing without committing PR suicide, and as far as I am aware VM have not suggested they will go this route. It is only far fetched forum speculation.

Stop worrying.
