No More Shaping?

[mike86]

I've been pondering getting 20Mb broadband installed in my house in August. I noticed the other day that Virgin had introduced a 3GB limit between 4PM-Midnight, and smaller limits on their other products.

When I looked at the product table today, I noticed that the prices had changed and all mention of those limits and traffic shaping had gone. Even the AUP doesn't mention it

What's going on?

They are hiding the shaping it would seem, no prizes for guessing as to why

I still think VM should provide a tool for monitoring the internet/bandwith amount used. I dunno about DUmeter, but my NETMETER doesnt record the bandwith used by the wireless connection of the laptop, but it records the files transferred between the laptop and the computer. Therefore I have no idea ACTUALLY how much I am using, and if i am about to exceed my CAP of 350mb. Thereagain, if VM did allow us to chk our usage on their site, I might waste 1mb of my CAP. It aint worth it

In regards to ur question, the answer is "I WISH"

Thanks for the answers

Nevermind, 3GB is enough for 4PM to Midnight. Assuming a throughput of 17Mbps I can whore ~120Gb from Usenet during the other hours.

Virgin don't make clear whether 3GB = 3Gb or 3GiB. There's not much difference, but it counts.
