The Cable Wallah's actually want you to be ISP's for your own LAN's,
Juggling their cheap bandwidth with more reliable ISDN/leased lines.
Something that Cogent(I think) does for many US ISP's provide cheap
bandwidth which they can juggle around with more reliable providers.
Why you get a 200Kbps at night is because cable wallah allots a IANA
private IP pool (Subnet) for a building and restricts bandwidth for the
whole pool(I think).
Why CableWallah's provide cheap bandwidth is because of low NOC/Helpdesk
costs which are significant part of the whole product for a big ISP.
