Not necessarily. Again it'd depend on how well their load balancing is set up and the specific metrics used. STM'd customers may be deprioritized (that's what I'd do if I had to STM people...) but then again if business customers paying double don't get prioritized I doubt they'll be doing that. It's also possible (and sometimes feels like) they run a complete free-for-all without per service-flow quotas or balancing, so if someone just happened to have more torrent seeds than you they may get more speed.[COLOR="Silver"]

Ah yes. That's it. The ALLOT system deprioritises STM'd traffic. So congestion must be really bad if my un-STM'd speed tests frommy nearest VM host only manage 20 meg ofr much of the mid-evening.
