unless some one else is stealing my bandwith i have no idea ?.

previously on bt broadband option 2 never had any usage problems with them.
STM hasn't kicked in. And you haven't complained of a problem with your surfing and downloading. In post #23, I provided sound advice on the steps to take if you suspect you're not getting the speed you're paying for.

The result, if you follow that advice, will most likely provide a profile of when your download speed is more affected by contention and when it is less affected. If the download speed is poor at all times (including obviously quiet times), then you do have a problem.

And here we are still debating STM! I'm not impolite - just trying to get the proper message across to you and how to properly ascertain your position.
