New STM limits etc just posted

effectively if you download at 100% of your specified speed for 10 minutes you are then capped for 5 hours during the day or 12 hours during the weekend

Welcome to Virgin unlimited downloads

YOU should not be limited in anyway in today's world, while others are going totally unlimited VM are still doing it, don't they want the business?

If they upgraded their network like all the other ISP's then maybe they would be competitive, as they still stand, they are just a low end provider with a low end service.

Thats what happens when you let the yanks rule the nest !!

FTTD for the win?

No worry for me. The very worst 72Mb capped speed is still a good 10Mb above anything I've seen reliably in 6 months on my 120Mb connection.

Should be noted though that FiOS costs over 60 quid a month for a 75Mb/35Mb service with domestic phone calls.

It's also not available to most of the United States, and huge swathes of the USA have the option of the local cable company or the local phone company and that's about it.

40 quid a month for 24Mb with a 250GB/month limit anyone?

Or the cable company, 80 quid a month for 105Mb down, 20Mb up, 600GB/month cap.

For that price someone in the UK could purchase 2 x FTTC services, including line rental, or an FTTC and a 120Mb VM cable service, load balance them and have a service at 150Mb down, 39Mb up or 200Mb down, 30Mb up.

The USA is definitely not a model for value and superior services.

To get some more idea of what Liberty Global may do longer term check their UPC cable brand.
