Supposing there is one sole person using his connection and downloading an
abnormal amount, such as 1GB. only him connected to the internet, everybody else is dead. he would still be STMd.
how is that helping others who are not even using their connection? it isn't. he is being penalised regardless of the circumstances and regardless of what they say STM is there for.
If there were 10 people all downloading on the same UBR. they would all be STMd. but STM is there to give them a better experience, but has actually gave all 10 of them a bad experience now. they are all talking to each other on MSN saying was I making it worse for you? no you wasn't mate. I was happily downloading and you wasn't affecting my speed when you were downloading too.
They all have to wait now for a few hours because STM is helping them.
STM is not helping them, it's helping Virgin save bandwidth by taking it from those who want to use it.
