I'm sure there could be a number of explanations, but the timing and resultant download speed does seem rather odd. Has there been some unannounced change in traffic management times?

Have noticed identical behaviour since Monday this week.... gutting
As far as I'm aware the download limits have not changed nor have the stm times, 4.00pm to 9.00pm, but to be on the safe side I wouldn't start your downloads before 9.30pm. If you continue to get throttled after 9.00pm your going to have to face the nightmare of a phone call to India, at your expense.

PS One bit of good news, I read in another thread this evening that VM are abolishing their call charges to the BB helpline in a couple of months.
