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.
Look at that! Backed up by a mod!!
