Re: New STM could be coming your way

Comparing them side by side:

1. Penalty period increased from 5 hours (no termination) to 7 hours with termination at 23:00
- Effect: better if STM'd after 18:00 (in the 16:00-21:00 weekday period), worse if STM'd before

2. Daytime (10:00-15:00) period dropped (unless they just forgot to put that in) - BUT

2a. Weekend period extended to 11:00-21:00 with quota a little less than the previous 2 periods combined

Effect: Weekday before 16:00 - fill yer boots!
Weekend: If you made much use of the 10:00-15:00 slot or the free 15:00-16:00 slot, negative, but if you were mostly an afternoon - early evening user, positive.

3. Upstream - Weekday penalty time as above.
Weekend, time period increased to 10:00-20:00 so both time period and quota are doubled.

Weekends, a bonus if you didn't use the free time before 15:00, a negative if you did.

Upstream restrictions will mostly be an issue for uploading, P2P (and P2P assisted things like some video/radio players), and for video/Voip traffic.
