Well it probably doesn't as without STM I have never had any issues getting good speeds.

How ever the STM really seem to hit harder than it should and I'm already miffed that the speed doubling didn't double the upload speed until the 120mb upgrade has been done.

I just can't see myself staying with Virgin for long once FTTC has been rolled out in Wishaw.

Was looking back to the the last two days worth of graphs and its amazing how much the blue shots up in the graph when the STM hits and I did some brief speed tests last night and my upload speed was sub 1mbit from all the sites I tried and latency was much higher than usual even from the trusty Preston speedtest site which gives me constant low latency even better than the new Virgin hosted Glasgow site.

It's so bad that even facebook gaming is affected and really slow at loading.
