From a Virgin advert:
"Speed of internet connection assumes components working at optimum speed and capacity. Both cable and ADSL broadband are affected by user volume"
Which is the cable of equivalent of the line distance disclaimer.
Should traffic managment not be seperate to line speed. If you download and you are not managed, you are more likely to get the advertised speed with Virgin than ADSL based ISPs
With what you are saying means that customers of ADSL based providers that traffic manage (such as BT) should get a proportional bill, it shouldn't be just directed at Virgin cable broadband
