My belief is that even if 100% of 50Mb users are high bandwidth users and if they all shift their downloading to 9pm-9am, this would be preferable to VM because they only affect other downloaders.
Surely for VM, the more 50Mb users that switch their downloading to nights the better, as these users will affect less 'every day' users that simply come home from work, check their email and browse BBC News with maybe a bit of iPlayer after dinner.
Therefore if 100% of 50Mb users stopped downloading in the day time, they would not then ask the people that shifted to post 9pm to stop downloading at that time and move to 3am instead, because they would not need to.
Please note I am not saying what I think is right or wrong. Personally if I was paying that much for an 'unlimited' service, I would want to be able to do it when I damn well wanted. I am simply looking at it from a practical / VM point of view.
