You forgot to mention possible cloning of his config from launch, stm throttling as well as application throttle coming soon (quoted by mr berkett himself), im sure theres some other nasties coming soon the past 2 years under the rebrand have proved this - next announcment should be april-may this year if my vm math is correct.

As there has been no annoucement of limits or anything so why would I have mention something I know nothing nor do you or anyone on this forum so don't stir things because your bitter about vm services

Who is stirring things up not me this very forum seen a cable hacker come here and gloat about services taken as well as it being well publicised all over the internet, cue the guy comes to post here, stm is already here and is getting worse every few months - shortly coming to 50mb after the whole country has it according to well placed vm sources and neil berkett was quoted at christmas as saying application throttling is coming in the second quarter of this year.

So far from stirring anything im just informing the guy of what to expect from a neutrals pov and not from an employee.

I'm a 'neutral' too, but genuinely so in that I couldn't give two hoots either way as opposed to other 'neutrals' who seem to have an axe to grind with regards to VM at every turn.

I note though that you failed to point out that the number of people detrimentaly affected by the issues you've described is actually quite a small percentage of the overall number of VM customers.

I maybe a employee but still have my personal views, the OP can see all the threads regarding STM and app throttling, I merely was saying whats the point in posting this, it is all over the forum, the OP wanted to know what expect when its installed not what is expected in the coming months of 50Mb.

As it comes with a 12-18 month contract he might want to know what will be happening in the coming contract period and not have looked in the other threads.

Im sure it should be good for him and wish him all the best.

subject to change of contract blah blah but they do have to notify you when any big changes are made to your contract and should you not agree to the new changes then you can walk away with no penalty charges

contracts work both ways

we all know its coming but when is the question and will it be fair because 75% on 20mb is a big loss in my opinion
i also wouldnt mind having 50mb working though before its capped

Nicosia · 21-03-2009, 19:53

i thought the whole point of this docsis 3 thing was there would be no caps? and better speeds?

Not at all, however it will help with network load so you will see overloading on the UBR's not be as bad as it has been until VM overload them again and again.
