The way I see it is, think of it like you're in a queue for something.

If someone uses up a load of time in the queue, itll be a slower wait for you.

Virgin dont limit how much you can download, just that if you download this amount within a set time period, youll be on a slower speed.

I dont think of it like you buy a car which can do 150mph and you can only go upto 130mph.

It might be because it doesnt bother me. I usually do big downloads either when im alsleep or when im out.
