Came home and turned it all back on and the only thing that downloaded was an Antivirus update. When i went to use the net it was very sluggish so i posted on the newsgroups and i was told that i had been STMd because i had downloaded atleast 10GB of stuff since that morning. As i said my modem had been off and the train i caught from London wasnt until 5:30pm taking almost 3 and a half hrs to get to Swansea. NO ONE had a key to gain access to my flat to use my PC and yet they still claimed i was in the wrong. I have read so many people on here and on the newsgroups claiming they have been wrongfully STM'd its unbelieveable. I do believe STM needs to be in place to ensure an overall good network capacity BUT the current levels such as they r on 20mb should be raised as they are very low and the STM problems that cause STM to kick in when u havnt done anything should have been sorted by now.

Either that was a definite wrong case of STM, or your modem's MAC address has been cloned and *that* has been the target intended to be throttled.
