Not really sure what you are saying here .. the serial downloaders don't monitor press releases in order to increase bandwidth use

Anyway, this is the sort of thing that I was talking about: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/story/201...y-upgrade.html

Couple of years old now but it makes a statement about how the company is investing to improve the product and specifically how they are doing it. For VM, this sort of thing would be a positive message to its existing and prospective uses to give them confidence that, when they increase the speeds, they are not just trying to make a dead horse run faster ..

What is funny is when I was googling for press releases relating to isp network investment, I came across this: http://www.evolving-networks.co.uk/b...arting-to-show Not sure how widely this applies but interesting non the less since we are talking about VM speed tier increases and the ability of their network to cope ..
