I have a question regarding the supposed poor service in an area after the 20Mb rollout (I won't call it an 'upgrade' for obvious reasons)...

I mentioned yesterday that I had fallen victim to the STM policy for the first time and checked that our area was now on 20Mb. It is.

By simply by enabling the STM policy in a particular area do users on all tiers experience performance problems over and above the shaped speeds?

I am experiencing very high ping times that I've never really seen before and it seems a coincidence that this happens after the 20Mb rollout.

Pings to UK and Euro servers are ~75ms, east-US are ~170ms and west-US ~215ms. My d/l and u/l speeds seem fine at ~2000 kps and ~240 kbps.

Are high pings related to the problems VM give themselves when doing the 20Mb switch?

Cheers
