Monthly limits are FAR worse. At least with daily caps you get your speed back the next day. Having it capped for the rest of the month would be ridiculous. Protocol specific shaping is also a bad idea - SSL would be 'unknown traffic' or if it was identified by port number, what's to stop p2p using port 80 for example?
Just leave things the way they are. Or better still, scrap the caps altogether. I mean where's the proof they actually make any difference? Rather than rolling out faster broadband, spend the money on letting people download whenever they like!
