Virgin ADSL Cap of 2.7GB/week
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7684322.stm

I found it extraordinary when I found this. 2.7GB a week is nothing these days for even average users! So much for it being "unlimited".

As the article doesn't say its for ADSL specifically, we can only assume it is because we know the cap difference for cable already.
