A VM only server would probably be sat on the VM network, and therefore not be affected by VM's inability to provide sufficient outside capacity, and the fact that 6am is hardly peak time.

I'd agree partly. You'll see from another thread of mine that congestion to/from TBB's network on VM is actually a lot lower than to/from other locations (I only tested BBC and Multiplay) - TBB not only has a significantly lower ping but also much lower average ping and standard deviation. It looks to me VM have deliberately prioritized or expanded the path to TBB.
On the other hand congestion control, or in general TCP rate control algorithms, as you say aren't the same everywhere. While there are standards (and 4-5 "standard" algorithms) not everyone uses the same standard. Indeed, different browsers on the same system can yield vastly different results because of how they set their buffers differently.

i think you might be right that vigi might have done something to TBB because i only average about 20mb on there before last year, but now i am averageing 45mb the hgihes ti have ever got on it
