I am in a different part of the country but my UBR is one designated as being on the STM trial. I have never hit the STM limits (ever) and have had really bad service from the day the trials started nearly three months ago.
Faults are getting another call from me in the morning and retentions shortly after. I had almost perfect service before VM decided to sabotage my area in an experiment.
This is the wonderful service I get at after 23.00 on a Sunday night. It will be perfect again tomorrow morning after their engineers re-boot everything but every day it struggles and at week-ends dies.
