For the record I don't disagree it will loose VM, or any other ISP customers, that's a given, and probably a partial goal too.

Censoring probably isn't the best word to use, but certainly Virgin will be an ISP with a very unbalanced, discriminatory, intrusive, restricted, and highly spied upon internet service.
The combination of very limiting download caps, difficult to avoid phorm spyware installation, over the top prices, and now the throttling of P2P makes Virgin look like pretty much the worst ISP around.
It's only the speed they're able to offer (if you live in the right areas) that makes them in any way appealing.
