Virgin are doing this for one reason, and one reason only. To be tight and save themselves from upgrading their network, and if this plan does come to fruition I will be ditching my services pronto.

The internet is far bigger than Virginmedia, and if they are so stupid
as to target their own customers and risk losing the revenue
you have to think that if they are jumping on P2P, then is P2P the main thing that is costing them money? if it is then they aren't going to make any money if you tell these people that they have to go and pay another ISP because we don't want your money.
