wow i usually get stm'd as i download more than my streets fair share off torrents.
now i wasnt arsed that they were cutting it down and i got the famous letter. but when i started to tare myself away from my videos ive downloaded i noticed i cudnt host xbox games no more while the stm was in full flow. so last week thought might as well knock my torrents down to 1k up 1k down (just so i get seed bonus points off my private torrent site even when nothings going up u get them by being logged into the tracker then exchange them on the site for upload credits) and id been doing that from say 5pm-11/12 and i noticed it that my speed in the stm peroids was back to normal for the 10mb
now last night i went completelly balistic downloading stuff for my original xbox as i got a kit to mod getting delvered this week and downloaded loads off public torrents. probs about 8gb over night. and now noticed after 12/1pm id been hit during the day
so looking at this gay web page

and am i right if i put my limits to 1k up 1k down from 10am till midnight then this will eventually take me out of this stm group and get proper speed for my games again? coz it sucks waiting till 11pm to play online.
or am i right in thinking i can even go all the way and say 10am - 9pm and ill be fine if its limited to 1k up 1k down during that peroid. and it will have the same effect?
i dont mind turning the download or upload off during the peak hours because when ur capped you might as well not bother downloading on a serious level anyways. because if im nailed for 5 hours in that then the amount i can upload or download is usually superseeded within about 20 mins uncapped.
so wud capping myself from 10am - 9pm gurantee it stops happening or shud i stik it out till 12 just to be safe, as i probs need it capping so i can play games anyways myself or surf the net.
with them upgrading me to 10mb im sure that makes up for the d/l & u/l as in un capped times i cud probs upload more than i cud stm'd on 4mb.
anyone else think STM sounds like a disease lmao,
