It would appear so!

Apart from those oddities who aren't getting STM'd at all.

Re: STM always enforced?

No STM here either - Glasgow G42 area. Had noticed my TBB graph had increased a little in spikes since people had been talking about getting no STM but hadn't had a chance to try it out until last night. Did 13GB in one hour and the following hour no STM.

Since it's a low-utilisation area I would expect VM are only releasing certain areas like this from STM that can handle it. Still getting the full 126mb/s at all times of the day. Instead of my speed graph being a completely flat line, now I do get the odd blip but the average is still 124mb/s so no issues with that.

Jeez! 434Gb. That's the same as my whole music collection in 1 day. I'm so glad you are not on my node.

I don't care about others on my segment - that's up to Virgin to sort out - not me

Re: STM always enforced?

Couple of guys from work mentioned they never seem to get capped, however I still am, but I live in an area known for students, which is probably why STM is enforced there

Well I don't live in an area of students and I also get STM'd. So I feel your pain.
