I completely agree, as do Virgin which is why they have the 20Mbit XL service which has higher STM thresholds and 50Mbit which has none. There's also the business services for those who use more during office hours.

Of course these do require paying more.

If you don't like being throttled upgrade, it seems folk want the cheapest bb but have no drawbacks

There is a way around traffic management surely? If I you change the referer url to something like youtube.com which is uncapped by throttles you should never get capped?

Nope

Now excuse me whilst I download an 8Gb file on my 10Mb cable at full speed

The system VM use doesn't care where you go or what you do just how much data you shift. It's completely protocol agnostic and network neutral.

Is it different at weekends? I managed to download about 20gb yesterday before getting capped.

Is that link posted earlier their latest traffic management ? I thought 20 Mbit was managed too ? But it's not in the table, nor is 50Mbit

The data overflows behind another part of the site so it can't be seen. Just a small glitch nobody has seen or fixed yet.

And I hadn't noticed.

Is this normal, when traffic management is in place?

Hi Ryuichi. We need to know if you are actually STMed or if you are just assuming you are. The next time it happens can you log in to your modem and post the Operation Config. stats. That will tell us for definite one way or the other.

Agreed. This is a typical peak time speedtest for me.

My average speed is 50.66Mb.

It is worth every penny to have no throttling, latency below 60ms and no caps. 24/7.

Cross fingers that 50mb is never traffic managed.

Operating config doesn't change when under STM enforcement.

Well for the first time I am now stm'd.

Also I am guessing I am bad with the timing stm'd from 8.40ish pm but not took off at 9pm so most of the 5 hours will be outside of the STM period.

Regarding latency yes it did shoot up whilst downloading (similiar to adsl but a bit higher to 400ms) but when the connection is idle its normal, so I am wondering if the OP's connection was idle when he posted his figures.

I would've thought by now Chrys you would know that the STM would remain in force from the time you exceeded the limit. Looks like you're STM'd til about 1.40am.Definately a case of bad timing!
