I was happy with STM until I saw they are now doing daytime throttling as well. Why don't they just tell everyone plain and simple "we can't give you the speed you pay for" instead of fobbing us all off with lies and excuses as to why they are dropping our speed.

To me, a few GB in the evening is nothing. I do a lot of web design and graphic design. I can easily push a few GB in a few hours with that. I also collect beta software which can come in the GB's every day as well.

They say they're not cutting down on costs, but thats obviously a lie when they are cutting our speed and telling us its because we use too much. Who are they to judge if I'm using too much? They don't know my browsing habbits. They don't know what I need to use my connection for. Who are they to say what I can and can't download and at what times?
