How many thousands of VM subscibers do you think are shelling out big bucks for the 20Mb service and are unaware they'll never get close to that speed!
Have a look at this thread:

When the 20Mb upgrades were being done they had a page that detailed the upgrade schedule and also said 'Do you need a new modem?'
HERE (from the wayback archive) if no-one believes me
If you did need a new one, you could then order one for free through the same site
So they DID tell people and they DID offer a way to get it replaced. If a customer then hasn't bothered, it is hardly Virgin's fault
