Either way, the advice always given in the letters is a cautionary warning requesting that you shift your download patterns to 2100 - 0900. If anyone ever got a letter saying they were having a detrimental impact on other cusomters during those hours I would be seriously worried about the state of VMs network
get worried, the bulk of VM graphs I see have peak/congestion carrying on till well past midnight, usually to 1 to 2am, so 9pm is far too early to consider peak end time. In some cases it takes so long for traffic to go down that 8am is lower utilisation than 4am as at 4am its still going down from the previous night.
