As customers are upgraded, the traffic management policy for the upgraded package changes accordingly.
In areas where 10Mb speeds are available, the top 3% of downloaders download at least 800MB of traffic each during the peak period each evening, with the top 3% of uploaders uploading at least 400MB of traffic in the same period.
Any users hitting this amount during peak times (4pm till 9pm) will have their broadband speed temporarily traffic managed – their download speed will be set to 2.5Mb, with their upload speed set to 128Kb. This will last for 5 hours from when the traffic management policy is applied.
Thanks Jo.
I scanned down that page and couldn't see anything about 10Mb -- must be my poor old eyes after not enough sleep. Or my withering brain.
At least my distant recollection of an increase in the upload limit wasn't a brain fart too?
Did I mention my withering brain?
And my short-term memory loss?
What about my feet? They're terrible some days...

2.5 mb download, not 1 mb
- interesting that at the 10mb tier it is the same 3% who are the culprits at peak times
