Look like they had ditched the traffic management for good?
There's no way you downloaded 26GB in 26Minutes. That would require an average transfer rate of just over 17MByte/s or a 136.5Mbit connection.

That said, some people have reported not getting STM'd for a few weeks now. It seems some areas are lucky while others are not. No official announcement or anything like that so just enjoy it while it lasts. Could just be a side-effect of your area only recently being switched to 120Mbit.
