Sorry, it isn't penalising all users, although it has the potential to do so. I think I have been STM'd no more than twice, and generally enjoy a consistent speed as stated for my package, and good speeds at peak times. There would be much more of an outcry by many more users, and there would be other measurable factors such as independent speed tests if "all users" are being affected. Above all that, there would be massive migrations to other ISP's, and yet the figures from VM's own qarterly results do not supposrt this theory.
How this has made the situation for worse for those who do not hammer their connections is quite frankly a common statement that has no reasonable evidence to support it.
