I doubt VM will use STM on 50Mb but as David said they have been known to shaft people.
the only way they could sell me 50 meg on a contract would be if it was not subject to STM cuz the minute they do it id cancel my contract as its just not worth 50 quid. Lets face it anyone can get all they need outside STM even if that means a big queue and a nighttime download. No one needs 50 meg some may need the bigger upload but not 50 meg down

So there will be areas that don't have 50Mb/s until around June/July 09.
so if your first you get 6 months then when its fully rolled out and they STM it you cancel as a change of terms only any real use if your area is first though
