Speed dropped today!

I usually get around 8Mb per sec from a 10Mb connection but from this afternoon onwards that seems to have dropped to around 2Mb per sec. Has anyone else experienced this or knows of a possible reason?

So VM do throttle customers' speeds and limit what they can download unlike what their advertisements claim!

Somewhat uncalled for response..especially as David F has a point.There are so many threads discussing STM already IF you had searched the site..And how many times must you be told that this site is totally independent from VM and is NOT owned or paid for by them?
