that's not traffic shaping, it is traffic management. Shaping is throttling p2p traffic and flagging it as low priority so speed is dependable on volume of network traffic. In my area it is excellent so I still get great speeds on torrents and stuff. Traffic management is stm which is what it looks like you hit because that is when they chop your speed in half once you hit a certain limit. I downloaded 50gb on torrents this morning and my speed was reduced to a consistant 6375k/sec. Next time it happens I'll run a speed test and see what it comes out at.

Are you sure you havent been downloading anything? I think the evening thing is 1600-2100 and the limit for us is 10gb. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, thinking about it now, you might have been screwed. If you are newly upgraded from 50mbit they have admitted that you will still be on the old limits which means you are on the 50mbit threshold of 5gb till you area is upgraded.
