And there's nothing stopping them.
If they're on 10Mb/s then they may not be able to get their headline speed again for a couple of hours but it should still be adequate to browse websites, watch YouTube clips or play their new game online.

VM answer to it download it later why should they in most cases some games dont give you the option it just goes ahead with the download if it detects your online its not going to stop say hey your ISP is VM I will do it later outside there STM.

Once the update has downloaded (in about 10mins on 20Mb/s), an XL user would still have almost 2GB 'allowance' (assuming we're talking the 4-9pm slot) before their speed was restricted.

Thats the typical modern day now. People not going to wait play there new game tomorrow so they can download the patch during out of STM hours and why should they.

So it's okay to stamp their feet like spoilt children because after downloading a huge update during the busiest time of the day, their connection is slowed to what a couple of years ago was considered insanely fast?
Well, that's why I suggested that folk need to learn a little patience...

Equally why should a person who say does just some browsing then once in while needs big file or goes over there allowance get shafted by VM.

Getting their 20Mb/s connection reduced down to 5Mb/s is hardly "shafted" is it?
C'mon, enough of the "sky's falling in" exaggeration?
