that would be the most sensible thing VM have ever done in recent times. However its also extremely unlikely as marketing leads that company.

This move is simply to comply with a recent ASA ruling.

I do expect STM to either change or be removed also as the same ruling forbids throttling that is more than moderate, STM kills 75% of speed so is more than moderate. Also worth mentioning the top 2 tiers have no STM at all for downloads as well as protocol throttling which can be evaded. The upload STM is very weak in comparison to the download STM and isnt present on the top tier.
