Hi there everyone!

This my first post and I have really been impressed with the amount of information that is on this forum!

I initially found the forum via Google.. anyways... about this STM stuff.
I upgraded from 2meg to 10meg a couple of days ago - Only cost me an extra Â£3 on top of my current Â£17 because I complained about being treated unfairly over new customers...

Anyways I was downloading some torrents last night and couldn't understand for the life of me why I was getting such **** speeds. Initially I thought it was due to my cable modem not downloading the new config file.. then I thought it was me who might not have reset it... puzzling! I spotted info about this new STM stuff and my mouth dropped wide open. For starters I live in Wigan and I'm almost 99% certain its in place already!
I was reading a few previous pages and people have mentioned it being capped until 11pm.. Well I was online until around 1am this morning and I still had a cap of around 270kbs (Around 2.2Mb) which would seem correct in relation to the 75% reduction in bandwidth on the 10meg line. Can anyone else confirm that the cap GETS removed at 11pm or does it continue until the 5/7/9Hours or whatever has elapsed....

Many Regards

Rick
