4pm is supposed to be the time that STM monitoring starts, not when your speed is chopped. Unless the software being used is buggy I'd consider blaming it on the usual traffic surges that happen around tea-time with children and adults arriving home.
I've just had a thought that a welcome knock-on effect of STM will be people actually noticing the amount of traffic leaving and entering their machines and maybe bothering to find the source. Hopefully a few bot-nets will take a hit in the coming weeks and months due to these measures.
