Update on priority.

I thought about this some more, and did a test where I started 100M downloads on the standard line twice, and half way through each I started the same on the Max Premium line. Then I reversed the plan and started a download on the Premium line and part way through commenced the same on the Standard line.

The standard line on the lower trace clearly gets its way every time, whether it starts first or joins the Premium line part way through. It always gets priority!

The premium line, on the other hand, starts slowly especially if the standard line is downloading, and picks up some speed when the standard line finishes its download.

Whichever way you look at it, the Max Premium line does not deliver a Premium service.
