Is the demand such a big problem that they have to take such a blanket approach? If STM only applied in circumstances when & where it was actually required, I think people would have less of a problem with it.

I'm on 'M' service(2Mb) at the moment, if I upgrade to 'L'(it looks like it would only cost me an extra Â£2/month) and end up on 10Mb, even when affected by STM I can still download at min speed of 2.5Mb which is a slightly bigger impact than a 2Mb non STM affected service. So if 2Mb is a problem, why isn't a minimum of 2.5Mb also a problem, never mind if I upgraded to 'XL' with a minimum speed of 5Mb.
