He is one of these guys that plays games for a living, does live streams and stuff and gets paid for it. With the amount of traffic he generates, game patches/updates and everything else, he has to be really really careful that he doesn't exceed his limit every month because if he does he gets charged stupid prices per 10gb.

I love the idea of fibre but any limits need to be proportional to the bandwidth. Luckily when stm was still in place VM imho were very reasonable with the hourly thresholds on the downstream.
I detest hard usage caps, STM is much more preferable to those. If Virgin does ever bring usage limits back, if it's not STM like I will likely be leaving.
