In that case, if STM was lifted, they'd still be limited to 20 meg due to the saturation?

Anything wrong with that?
I guess the only thing wrong with that is assuming there's an even distribution of bandwidth and that everyone can only get 20meg. I'm not really sure how the load balancing works, but if you're only getting 20meg, does that definitely mean everyone else is getting only 20meg, or are some getting more than that?
I really do wish we had more data on how effective STM is under heavy congestion.
