BT Infinity - Curious

[Gammawolf]

I know its well known that BT do traffic shaping, but it doesn't affect me. What i'm curious about is that it is widely (not sure on this but its what i've seen here) accepted that they blanket cap upload speeds on torrents to ~130KB/s. Now thats what i've observed too for most of the time, but then theres the odd time that my upload speed gets fully utilized (currently been going at about 1MB/s for half an hour now). I can count those occurrences on one hand but i'm wondering whats the reason theres suddenly no cap on the up speeds?
