I accept the fact that I am wrong that I thought it would be a good idea that Virgin encouraged their customers to keep their routers secure, it wouldn't help take the strain off the network resulting in better speeds for all.

That's why I don't think it's as illegal as we might think it is. it might be illegal if you were to use brute force to obtain the connection, but when it's wide open and your PC connects to it automatically. I can't see a prosecution there.
