Virgin alters traffic management system

[mr.sly]

Good news, I can downlad earlier in the night now, especially with Xbox Live now offering HD movie rentals.

Not sure the last claim is true though in the article about customers having a positive response.

Story Here

The new system identifies peak as being between 4pm and 9pm, and Virgin says it will now only affect the top 3% of users. The lowest tier trigger level is now set at 300MB of downloads or 150MB of uploads; the mid tier trigger has been upped to 800MB of downloads or 325MB of uploads - with the speed restriction set to 1Mbps; and the top tier trigger remains at 3GB. The restrictions will last for 5 hours from the trigger point.
