    Seems like the throttling is being introduced regardless of the time. I'm currently capped at 5mb and according the upgrade schedule my area has been done :s

    Same here mate..
    In fact since VM took over, I've since major drops in download speed and whilst 2 weeks ago, when I was upped to 20meg, I was getting a full 20 meg in usenet, I now rarely see more than 10 meg and more often than not It's between 5 and 8 meg.. what a joke!
    I'm hanging in at the moment in case things change but only cos they've halved my bill for the next 3 months..

    4.5gb in under 5 mins are you sure lol?

    Even on full whack 10mb, a file of a similar size takes around an hour and 15 mins.

    That page is wank...ffs theres only two places left to do in may, everywhere else is either complete or to be confirmed, wtf is the point of the page if it aint gonna give you any details.

    And as for billing, how about I pay the 1st £20 in full then anything over that I pay 25% over the following four months so that every other person/buisness that needs my money gets there 'fair' share.
    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    I get traffic shaped all times of day and night.. only time I get over 10 meg is about 3am if i'm still up... i've been gettting an average of from 3 to 9 meg through the day..
    It's just an excuse because they had insufficient infrastructure for the existing speeds .. let alone doubling the 10 to 20...
    please come back N*L all is forgiven..

    I agree it has become a farce i'm sure i'm getting throttled when i've not even downloaded anywhere near 3gig i'm considering just going down to 4 meg as thats all i'm getting all day anyway now on a 10 meg connection.Whats the point in paying the extra £££ for nothing.

    this is truly bollox but i have a little solution that helps,

    i pay for 1 modem and clone another, then use wingate to combine them. before capping i get 40meg and when they cap i still get a full 10 megs, does me fine at the moment.

    i think they will dump the cap in time, as *** did with there 75gb a month, when they start loosing customers

    Hey thats an excellent idea.. will look into that. Does the second modem need to be identical? I have another N*L modem, it was the silver one? the 150 or the 200 so could that do it?...mmm love it when I have a project. Seems like only justice to me as I'd never be getting more than i'm paying for..
