I hate stepping into these big arguments, but guys, it's common sense to shape the network.

Virgin Media's broadband connections are shared, as are every other providers. Thats the way it is, and always has been, accept this. It therefore, is fair, and makes sense to impose restrictions if somebody's usage is going to affect everyone else on the same line. Dont get me wrong, I hate limits of any kind. But there's no escaping this one, thats how the network has been designed, and thats how everybodys network is setup - unless of course you want to pay for your own dedicate line with its own bandwidth.
