When you have a family who use the above ALL the time STM becomes the biggest pain in the arse of any ISP

You have to rmemeber it will only drop to 50mbit for your 100mbit connection. Streaming should still work from multiple sources or on multiple pcs at that point. Streaming HD content is roughly 1 to 1.5 gb an hr so a stm'ed 100mbit connection should handle similatenous streaming of at least 10 films/tv/whatever.

Its a decent limit. Much better than I was expecting. And only going down to 50% is a plus.
