What's the point of owning a Ferrari under insurance that doesn't let you take it to track days? What's the point of owning a Ducati in Scotland?
You could look at this as part of the tragedy of the commons. Effectively STM enables Virgin to prevent a subset of their users from inconveniencing many of their other subscribers. When the 50mb rollout completes it's alleged that the faster packages will get bumped onto the newer infrastructure (Docsis 1.1 and all that jazz), and that'll do some I suspect to change the way things work.
