VM have actually relaxed the traffic management as part of the upgrades

The tiers below 30Mbit have 75% management, the 30Mbit and above tiers all have 50% management

So that means a customer that was on XL 20 and was getting managed down to 5Mbit as part of the STM policy, is now on 60Mbit and gets managed to 30Mbit.

They wouldn't be able to do that if there wasn't also investment in the network
