I 'm not sure why you are referring me to this as I clearly stated the same albeit in a different way...

I am not complaining per-se about the STM. If the threshold limits were reasonable (I consider 1200MB to be reasonable for the 'L' tier in the evenings) then there is no real problem. Naturally though, I would prefer a totaly unlimited broadband experience.
For your information. STM was not in existence when I signed up in 2002 (and if by some chance it was, it was not brought to my attention).
Above all, The STM needs to be consistent, and hopefully when the trials are completed there will be fairer thresholds and full transparency so that everyone will know exactly what to expect.
I do not recall being informed that my area was to be placed on a STM trial. I had to find out through public forums. People were finding their speeds reduced during the afternoon without reason and when querying why, finding out about the extended trial hours.
Are we likely to be told when the trial ends and what the new STM is going to be?
