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.

And yet, since the introduction of STM my average download speed at peak time is much nearer the 20Mb mark than it used to be? A friend of mine living in student territory land has seen massive improvements during colledge / university terms since STM.
You can quote "what if's" and "ah but's" till the cows come home, but the reality is that for most users there appears to be an improvement
Tell me how that isn't a good thing, aside from a few people being affected by STM , when they could have probably done their downloading at another time.?

Should we just take your word for it? |
Well, Fatec quoted something like a 33K net loss, and I posted actual results, including links, that any good for you?
