Funny that they've changed the download STM to only -16% after customer feedback when the majority that i've read here and on the VM forum didn't mind the download STM too much as it was still fast, but they did mind the upload reduction.
Are you definitely sure about that? I remember it being greater than 50%.
In fact, here's an article from last June: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...icy-again.html

The changes we’ve been trialling for the last few weeks are focused on allowing you do more with some applications that need a significant amount of upstream bandwidth. So we’ve dialled back the reductions to upload speeds from 60% and 75% on our one and two hour thresholds to 50% and 65% respectively.
