As MUD_Wizard has stated, the STM is measured in 15min increments, so it's possible to absolutely thrash your connection and beat the STM for a bit, but you will still get hit with it when the next 15mins interval is up. That does mean you can go from no STM to the 2hour/40% reduction inside 15mins as well.
