Someone should draw attention to this thread where many people on 20mbps would disagree!
FWIW, I think what VM meant was that downloading a 340MB video (and nothing else) would only trigger STM on 2Mb/s connections, not the faster ones.

I'd guess that you're either ignoring the STM times and thresholds (which you are absolutely free to do) or the STM parameters at your UBR are incorrect.

If nothing else, DU Meter keeps a log of your traffic so you can analyse it later.
