What is says on the bottom of the adverts is:

Minimum computer requirements apply. Speed of internet connection assumes components working at optimum speed and capacity. Both cable and ADSL broadband are affected by user volume. Subscriber traffic management policy applies; Acceptable Use Policy applies to all speeds

Have to? funny, i've not come across anyone that does, infact, none of the agents who knock on our doors mention STM here, they blatantly deny that they use it.
Yes have to, if a particular agent/employee doesn't that is them, not VM company policy

And as for their 5% figure, it's well known it means a different 5% at any given time, so it affects their whole user database and this does bring into question their '20Mbit unlimited' ads.
Yes it is all of their customers - Virgin have never said any different. The 5% figure is based on that overall out of the several million customers no more than 5% of those customers will ever be affected by STM
