Did somebody forget to change the "STM clock"
I started my downloads after 9pm tonight and I am now under STM, WTF.

Is it just me or is anybody else experiencing this?

I wondering if it's something to do with DST.

Re: Did somebody forget to change the "STM clock"
1) What package you on?
2) How much are you actually downloading?

Re: Did somebody forget to change the "STM clock"
I know it's the STM because I've suffered under it before so my package and download quantity are irrelevant.

when someone replys to a post requesting something they are actually here trying to help. Getting responds like yours will only make people not want to help. If you do want help here you might wat to try to be a little more gracious to those trying to

It sounds like the same problem I had the other night. Started downloading at 9.05, when I checked it 10.00 to see how it was going I was down to 1mb

How does that work? The clocks went forward, so if the STM time is UTC/GMT then the STM window is 3pm till 8pm BST, if they've wound forward then it's 4pm till 9pm BST, right?

Re: Did somebody forget to change the "STM clock"
STM "peak time" is 4pm to 9pm.

The clocks went forward so what is now 9pm used to be 8pm.

Any unadjusted clock would be 1hr behind.

Re: Did somebody forget to change the "STM clock"
About an hour ago I was downloading at 20mbit no problem, now it appears that STM has kicked in, but it is only 12.12pm. This is the 2nd day in a row that this has happend.



Have they changed the STM policy? Is anyone else getting STM kicking in during the day time?

Re: Did somebody forget to change the "STM clock"
VM have blatantly been capping me and many others users any time they want.

They've STM'd me every other sunday bang on 16:00pm for over 2 months now.

It's like clock work.

CS will not admit they are doing it though.

Believe me I've tried to get them to speak the truth but all i get is "we'll send an engineer out etc etc" nonsense.

They would rather send an engineer out knowing full well thatsthere is nothing wrong at my end or theirs.

It's blatantly obvious they are capping people any time they want to.

Every other sunday no matter what they put my 4mb connection at 1 mb DL/128k UL BANG ON 16:00pm until 21:00!

I'm not an idiot. I know full well they are capping me.

It's not rocket science to know wether you are being STM'd or just have a fault.

Faults are random!

Its hardley a fault when you have have your 4 mb connection set to 1md DL/128K UL bang on 16:00pm every other sunday for over 2 months straight is it?

I getting sick of the people who don't believe those who KNOW they are being STM'd out of hours.

I will say this again. Its not rockect science finding out wether you are being STM'd or its just a fault.

Well, all you know is that the connection has slowed and it is slowed to the same amount that STM slows it down to.

You don't know the cause.
