they bang your downstream down to a maximum of 50% for 5 hours from when you hit the limit. On a 100mbit connection that will be a maximum of 50mbits. If it is a Friday evening for example and the network is heavily congested there probably wont be 50mbits of free juice for you to use and you'll get whatever is available like 11mbits. Bear in mind though that everyone else is hammering the steam servers as well so 1.1mb/sec isnt neccessarily VMs fault.
