Oh and in addition to the lowest speed increase they (50 & 100) also got the addition of STM, which none of the other tiers got (cause they already had it, whereas 50/100 were exempt). So in fact minimum regulated speeds, at peak times, went from:

2.5 (10 STM'd) => 43 (17x increase)
5.0 (20 STM'd) => 86 (17x increase)
50 => 129 (2.5x increase)
100 => 129 (1.3x increase, and price drop to match 50)

Which makes the top tier look like they're getting ripped off even worse!
Nobody was ripped off by VM. The mega-downloaders would have ripped me off had they not been STMd.
