I know and fully understand whats being said and fully agree that the wording is misleading .

So what are they going to call it next ?
Unlimited "During certain hours of the day"

I never liked VM's idea when it first came out, but at least the speed it is unlimited 24/7 "providing we don't go over a certain threshold".

Yeah well it is something Ive had a major bone of contention with for several years - Unlimited ISPss
.. and its one of the reason why I started the ISP Caps and Fair Usage Policy page in the first place.

With regards to the VM Cable stats. (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html)

Just in case, you may want to update the info that is being displayed on your FUP page as those figures are the old ones.
(Just so no-one complains that the displayed info is inaccurate)

L size package (10Mb)

10am - 3pm   DL   2400 MB
10am - 3pm   UL   No Limit

3pm - 8pm   UL   700 MB
4pm - 9pm   DL   1200 MB
