While it would not "fail" per say, it will restrict to slower speeds and take almost 4x the amount of time to download, if your doing this in the early evening or late or night, hell or even before you have to go out, you may as well cancel it all together, Xbox360 is not something id wish to keep on for really long periods of time either.

I don't want to be seen to be supporting any STM but as I mentioned in an earlier post, the trial STM limits are less aggressive (at least for my 4Mb connection) that those already in operation.

Depends if you do any downloading, have more than 1 person using it or use the net for anything more than basic stuff, with the new STM it gets to a point of where you "darent" use it for anything incase most of your connection gets taken off you.

The data would still be flowing through your UBR to your connection so I can't see it would make any difference, apart from slowing down your pre-STM speed.

Again, goes back to the amount of time it will take the download to complete, we want faster speeds so we can finish our downloads quicker, not wait even longer.
