Don't forget this was never put forward as being an issue about total usage it was stressed that the need arose because of congestion at peak times only.
Our solution has the benefit of helping shift and balance loads throughout the 24 hour cycle making the most efficient use of the available bandwidth.
As for producing problem off-peak instead, I doubt sufficient downloads would ever shift for this to be a real issue so the probability that of-peak would get congested instead is unlikely to apply unless you are saying the off peak useage is already very high as well.

Oooh don't let Ken Livingstone near this thread he'll introduce congestion charging on the NTL network.
