Re: New STM could be coming your way

more like 20-25 mins if you can flat line (task manager) the download on 20mb

3gb sucks really if it was 5gb at least you could download an dvd size file and not get caped

with the Throttling its so much as you can still download more then 100gb in one day (think it was like 150GB or 200gb not worked it out for some time due to the morning limits now in place) if you do that on an bt line they likely cut you off as most are 40gb per month limits, on the so called unlimited ones is most likely around 100gb before they mite email you or letter

caps did not really affect me once they moved it to 9pm cut off as thats the time i norm started my downloads or started using me internet (on 50mb now so caps are not an problem yet apart from some random i am hoping "errors" when my broadband drops to 2.5mb/s have to reset my MAC adress to fix it)

ignoring the currant STM now the new STM could pose to be problem more so for the week end but haveing the cut off at 23:00 is good so at least now you know your going to get full speed at 11pm not 2am if you hit the throttler before just before 9pm
