Tmobile internet no longer on between 12am and 4am?

I use pay and go, and i buy the £5 booster for 1 month internet. It only gives 500mb of data and a few youtube videos watched and its gone, however, i was getting full streaming function between 12am and 4am even though i had used up my data allowance, i thought this was a teriffic deal.

I tether my phone to my laptop, and between 12 am and 4am, very lately however, things have changed, i can't even watch a video on youtube, it comes up with the usual error message that i get through the daytime "This video could not be played" and i get the usual T-Mobile message on my browser "Content lock, you have used all your data etc etc"

Has this 12am to 4am data useage been stopped by EE/Tmobile now? Something is very wrong with it if not, even downloading a 5mb program or free e book takes several hours!!!!!

Hope someone can clarify what happened or is happening, and if it is the case that Tmobile have decided to cap internet at all times of the day, is there another network that offers internet at a decent price instead?
Owed out = lots. :cool:

    Not stopped - but this period of off peak is often used by the network for its own purposes (maintenance, polling base stations for data etc) so add in those that are actually using it for d/l, you are hitting capacity issues. After that, there is the issue of capping speeds for those seen to be heavy users.

    Since you'll never know the available bandwidth in advance, all you can do is hope for the best.
