The best I could get is £25 for L, £11 for Phone & M TV package for free.

So £36 for something less than other customers are getting, that is great!.

Now onto the topic at hand, I don't mind the STM really it is a lot better than having a monthly cap that is for sure. Although it would be nice to have the limits raised a little bit, Trying to stream legal sources after 4pm is a mission cause of STM. Makes me not bother in the end cause it is too slow.

I see STM as a bad thing for big families that all use the Internet at the same time, as those limits will soon be hit & most families I know of ask why is my internet so slow?!?! you've been throttled mate, what the hell is throttling they ask & when I explain to them what it is they feel let down by it. But obviously they should have looked into the terms e.t.c before they signed up.
