There is very little point in having 120Mbps download speed other than to download large data files. Put caps on it and VM may as well shut shop unless they are very generous indeed.

You're right, of course.
The problem for VM customers is that a free-for-all (except P2P which remains controlled), as in "VM will never slow you down", can hit them quite quickly, particularly if there are twice as many customers per VM optical node than in a large FTTC cabinet.
Of course FTTC can hit customers in a different way; it's distance dependent from the cabinet made worse by aluminium cable.
Interesting times ahead as VM struggles with its dilemma.
