they arent capping you because of the "competition". Stm is Stm and once you have hit that limit it doesnt matter, whether you was using netflix, playing games of sending a billion emails. I know it sucks ass but it is all part of VMs rubbish traffic management policy to protect bandwidth and availability for all users. You havent stated which tier you are on so the only thing I can suggest is to upgrade to a higher tier like 50mbit which has a higher threshold or 100mbit which isn't subject to traffic management atm. It all depends on how much you think you are going to use netflix going forward.
