Actually the entire article is laughable.

Sky may well suggest that traffic management is tantamount to limitation, but the Virgin Media spokesman insists that this is in place to protect other users.
"We operate an open and transparent traffic management policy designed to ensure that the majority of customers enjoy a high quality online experience and remain unaffected by a small minority of extremely heavy users," added the spokesperson.

What on earth does
why VM employ STM have to do with it being a limited service or not, and who is this so called expert Michael Philips? This would be the 'expert' who doesn't know how ADSL works. He seems to be an expert in offering his opinion on broadband services but I can't see just why he is an 'expert' as in I can't see where he's worked in the industry, but would welcome some more information. He appears to be a guy who happens to be offering his opinion on broadband services right now and previously could have been offering it on toasters, and would probably be better suited sticking to them looking at some of the rubbish he passes off as technical advice:

Not true. Whether a person's usage impacts the service for other customers or not both download and upload speeds are reduced, and it's not just during 'peak usage periods' at all.
