STM was introduced with the 10:1 upstream ratio change. Nothing to do with 20Mb being moved to DOCSIS 3. In my area they were moving pretty soon after the DOCSIS 3 overlay was made live and well before ATDMA upstreams.
Sadly a few too many people seeding 30-odd torrents at a time, which the network couldn't handle. The 100Mb/10Mb tier caused real problems and was never released to some areas.
