STM is STM there are no in between bits anyone who says otherwise is scaremongering. Rules have been set and those rules are abided by. Why do some people automatically assume that because their speed is slower that stated as soon as their PC has been switched on that this is the result of some random STM'ing.
There are other factors to weigh in when poor speeds come in to play. VM do not own the internet, it is made up of many enteties and they [VM] as such have no control over it. The only infrastructure VM can guarantee their stated speeds over is their internal network (and yes even that can get a little slow at times due to demand) ANYTHING outside the network is not the responability of VM.
