Re: Hmm, is VM's traffic management system offline?
The removal of STM in response to Sky is possible but I suspect VM will prefer to push the difference in top speeds and the data you can download in 24 hours rather than remove STM.

I seem to remember previous threads about application throttling from Trax - I guess another possibility is the removal/upgrade of the STM kit to make room for that.

STM would not need to be disabled to add new equipment.

Remember STM isn't a system it's just a few commands on the uBR / CMTS.

Were you a member of nthellworld.com (this site's predecessor) when NTL "leaked" details of their capping plans at 4pm one Friday afternoon? By Monday morning, the thread generated had reached nearly 7,000 posts (mostly complaints) and probably over 300 new members. A lot of people where moaning that they needed to download 200 Gig of "Linux Distributions" every month.

I remember that, though was under a different name way back then

Just goes to shows that back then we actually complained and got things to change.

Now we just moan, moan, moan and moan...but still stay with them

"Now we just moan, moan, moan and moan...but still stay with them "

Because there's been no real competition so far?

When Vm provide decent HD Tv and Film channels i will not need to do as much downloading till then i get it from other places. Those figures included lots of streaming TV as well as gaming and general surfing for a large family with 4 pc's and 2 laptops

Re: Hmm, is VM's traffic management system offline?
Disgraceful... I use 10GB/month, all worship me and my purity.

Yes I'm being sarcastic, they advertise unlimited, leech on

I would be in favour of some intelligent traffic management following the Comcast regime. If they do that applying a hard cap on top is not necessary.

54.963GB I did just yesterday, midnight to 10.30pm. I got STM'ed twice too. Thats the most I've ever done in a single day, I usually average less than 100GB a month at the moment since I have no space left...

I did exactly 220GB yesterday

That's about average for me, that's both up and down though.
