It will only be capped for heavier use. In theory the package you are on assumes just a general useage. At 20mbit speeds, I rarely find myself subject to STM thresholds, and generally find that my normal needs of gaming, a bit of web browsing checking a couple of you tube type vids all easily fits my needs and yet when I do need that latest game patch I don't need to sit there twiddling my thumbs for half the evening. If I want to do bit of uploading to update a website, or game servers, again the added upstream bandwidth comes in handy. If I am going to hammer my connection with a bit of leeching from newsgroups and the like, then I'll do that at unrestricted times of day.

If you are finding yourself capped all the time, you are probably on the wrong package for your use profile.
