That 350GB/month is approximately equivalent to a sustained 2.7Mbit/s between 9am and 9pm.

9pm is a very early cutoff point, which you also discovered on your connection when you still had peak affects close to midnight. No wonder I regurly see spikes between 10pm and 1am now as that period is often more busier than 6pm to 9pm. You sure its 0.1%? lets say there is 40 users on a port, that 0.1% is just 1 user.

I never recieved my first warning in the post. The second one I replied with a complaint letter to VirginMedia asking them how much I need to reduce my traffic by with no response. Not I have a third letter and still am none the wise on how much I need to reduce my internet usage by.
I really don't want to get removed and I'll make sure I reduce my traffic, but I haven't got a clue how much I need to reduce this by.
I've change my traffic so that I only use 1Mbit uload during peak hours and 5Mbit down for P2P and torrents. (the maximum isn't in use all the time).
Thanks

I would say sustained 1mbit upload will still get you in the net. Their capacity didnt go up by that much during the uplifts and they wont be able to support many using sustained 1mbit upload. Is it not possible to simply turn off p2p during peak? It sounds like you running it 24/7 from your description. You had 2 letters so I would either disable p2p during peak or set the upload to something very low like 256kbit. Sustained 5mbit download they should handle a bit easier but I would also consider lowering that as well.
