if they needed to have a permanent 24hr restriction in place if you downloaded more than X amount then there would be something seriously wrong. I can kind of understand why they need it in the evenings because I can imagine pretty much everyoneis using the internet at the same time and I honestly dont mind having that cap (which i don't on 50mbit now). However, I accepted that knowing that after 9 i could download whatever I wanted to and not have to worry. If VM havent got the juice available in the early hours of the morning for me to download 20gb or 80gb then a higher power needs to start looking into things.

Broadbings might be a better person to answer this because the important unanswered question atm is this:

We have been harping on about docsis 3 for ages and that it works on a different frequency or something and that we can now use these bonded channels and all this extra bandwidth and stuff and it is so good that the 20mbit dudes have migrated across (so by VMs admission that is 95% of their network traffic now on docsis 2/3) and all your are left with is the 2mbit and 10mbit dudes on docsis1. So apart from the fact that we are customers and don't want stm, the question is, why is there still a need for it?
