Having not been a VM customer for a while I was checking out some things and came across their Traffic management page.

First, I thought every ISP had got rid of traffic management polices, except maybe a few dirt cheap budget options. Is this traffic management actually still active?

Second, from reading through it I saw it for example say that on the 50mbit option you can only download 1.3 gb over 2 hours in the evening before they traffic manage you. have I read that wrong or is it really that bad?

Most speed tiers look like you can only use them at full speed for 3 or 4 minutes in the evening before you get capped.

Is traffic like iPlayer and Netflix excluded from the cap?

Really thought I had gone back in time reading all that!
