Same goes for Sky and every other ADSL provider out there
No. we've done this argument many times before.
ADSL has always been "up to" the maximum they provide. depending on many factors which they state. such as line length.

With cable you are sent a config file for whatever speed you are paying for. it is then artificially restricted by Virgin. it wan't restricted by natural means such as line length, but means administered by Virgin themselves.
