It is intentionally restricted, they have changed the meaning of what 'up to' means across the board of ISPs. another word that they have re-written for their own benefit and purposes.

Thats the worst analogy I've seen related to this issue, its not even relevant. Traffic congestion is not caused by the road providers. You also have other options for routes to take. Virgin Media have imposed these limitations to benefit themselves by spiting its customers. I refuse to pay for 10MB broadband when most of the time I will be on 5MB, might as well just pay for 4MB and be done with.
