STM just when you feel like it eh!?

I reset my superhub at 4pm so I could keep an eye on my usage.

I've been limited to 50mbps according to all the speedtests i've done.

How much have I used.?

This area will display a summary of activity since you last reset your Super Hub.

Measurement Period: 0days 2h:21m:46s
Data Downloaded: 352MB
Data Uploaded: 46MB

Pathetic!

What's wrong with that?

The evening STM on 100Mbps shouldn't kick in until 10 GB has been downloaded during the period.

It could be behaving like mine does on 10Mbps. I can hammer the guts out of it in the day (well as much hammering as 10Mbps can give it - several 10's of GB when the STM limit is about 3GB) and never get the STM applied but if I do so then come the evening slot it only takes a little bit of download and the STM kicks in. Why? No idea. Do I care no - my minimum sentence has been served and Infinity is coming my way soon. At least I hope it is.

Nothing on the speed 50mbps is still reasonable however

Should be 10GB!

All the STM has done is stabalise the speed after it kciks in - which is good as it was all over the shop before.

But the times are crud. I am still throttled now and I believe it's well over 5 hours. Infact even when I don't get hit at all its still slow as [censored] this time of night.

When I was on 50Mbps and the speeds were poor and all over the place I stabilised mine and saved money too - I downgraded to 10Mbps.

When I ask to do that I am told it's cheaper for me to stay on 100 then to go to 60

Im going to pay it off. I know it will be £180 but that's fine. My SDSL goes in on Monday so I may only have 2mbps but it will be all mine and I can finally break the chains on STM/Sharing a network!

SDSL will still be a contended product so congestion free is not a defenite. Whos your new isp?

It's 1:1 and it's Spitfire.

Back in the Dialup Days I used to rent a port for £99 a month which gave me 1:1 56k 24/7 connection,. I'd imagine as this runs off an ADSL line £99 a month is more than enough to give someone 2MB 1:1?

Probably somebody on a 100Mbps cable connection flogging it on to 50 punters at £99 a pop

LOL and they took the STM off it too! - nice
