This isn't STM, it's detremental use.
I assumed that the way it worked was dependent on the situation e.g. that if in an area there is high utilisation of the network and someone downloads enough to cause others issues, that would be detremental.
However if in another area with low utilisation, the same amount downloaded would not impact others in the same way, so it may not be classed as detremental
Also as far as I'm aware, you can still have detremental use on a package that has STM - because of the impact it has on others
Remember all they are asking customers to do is move the usage to outside the peak times - they aren't threatening to cut them off or force them to change package
