I will gladly take this new STM over the one we currently have. In the end, it means that when we get STM'd at 20:30 we won't have to wait till 1:30 am so can ultimately push much more bandwidth. That and the fact there's no daytime management on weekdays.

The STM should be much more versatile though - only dipping users into STM if they have downloaded a set amount (much like now) and their is a problem with contention on the UBR (utilization at perhaps, 80-90%). This makes much more sense and ultimately means that virgin use their setups more efficiently.
