The list is longer and i am sure others could add to that

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



So what is this normal activity you talk about
I find all this very confusing. So if I watch tv programmes on my pc then at some time STM might kick in and slow down my connection? I assume this doesn't apply if I watch catch-up tv?
My son plays COD on his PS3 online. Would anyone be able to give me any idea of how much traffic this would involve and how long he could play before speed was affected? If he is playing online while I watch a tv programme on my pc will we hit limits sooner?
