I think we'll find, what with the change being timed for first half 2012 which is coincidentally the same as the planned launch of Youview, that a more Youview compatible STM policy will be introduced.

Once Youview gets hold what will be deemed reasonable usage will become significantly higher. It has to otherwise most people will end up being STMed which is not the goal of STM. I think STM was aimed at reducing the over-usage of the top 5% of users? Something like that.

Doubtless all the ISPs are having to get some major capacity work done as a massive change in UK usage patterns is about to take place.
