With you being a current VM employee you are not allowed to confirm or deny the new trial of overnight STM anyway....

VM must be pretty thick if they they think most if not all torrent users and legit broadband users will not switch to night as being there new time to download/upload....Night time STM is inevitable and you know it....

I am also aware of the new future measures that VM want to introduce and with them VM are digging themselves a hole which they will not get out off....

VM, focusing on the Broadband market as there main product - what a joke!

I totally agree Gordon, but they are bringing in 50mb!! What the hell for, just so as they can advertise the "fastest" broadband. It should follow, "but only at short bursts", or once your stm'd by 75% a constant 12mb connection, doesn't sound as good though does it? especially when you consider its then on par with Sky's top broadband at just £10 a month. It puts me in mind of the old children's story about the "Tortoise and the Hare", maybe VMs board ought to re-read it.

what the <Removed> is the point in having 20mbs and soon 50mbs if you dont get the full speeds all day.

VM are just like the Labour party they **** everyone off.

Mod Edit - Please do not avoid the swear filter.

19Meg around the clock here since the update, even with all the kids off, providing I don't use it that is.

There are quite a few areas that get nowhere near the speeds for which there paying for, obviously you and a few others are lucky.

This was one such area after the 20Meg free upgrade, 27k some evenings, which is why I went on the twilight shift, always great after 2AM.
I don't know what the recent network update actually consisted of, but it worked.

[Virgin Bride]

No STM here either, I downloaded 9 movies (8G) during the day today and still 10Mbs

Well it seems like I'm "one of the few" Sirius down here in Brighton, also more than a few of my friends and family recieve nigh on 20mb.

LOL I am not a current or past VM employee.. My only links to VM are via technology vendor relationships.

If you knew anything about how Cisco STM works you would know they can only have two active windows (Peak & Off-Peak).
So if they were going to have Overnight STM they would have to extend one of the other windows by a shed load of hours.. To do this and still stay within the 5% daily capture rate they would have to raise the Volume Threshold by a huge margin which would result in nobody being caught at the times that VM want them to be!

[CrowmanUK]

If its only got 2 active states how are VM managing to have 3 sessions of stm? I guess it would be 4 if you counted the off peak state as well. This isnt an arsey question either, i'm genuinely curious as to how they can do it.
