First, can I say to anyone who is using txt speak in your posts, please don't. It makes them harder to read. You have a full size keyboard, and are not limited to 160 characters (small keypad and 160 character SMS limit are the reasons Txt spk was invented), so use normal English.

But, you are already unlimited, but subject to a speed limit (what's 20 meg if not a speed limit?). Shaping just lowers that limit temporarily.
I'm not defending Virgin Media as I personally would rather they had plowed that 30 million they gave to some of their board back into the network (surely *that* would have paid for a few more UBRs if nothing else).

True. When I signed up for NTL broadband in 2000, there was already a clause in the AUP that enabled them to take action against what they termed Heavy downloaders.
