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.
One rule for the goose, one for the gander then?

If the industry/OFCOM allows limited ADSL providers to advertise as Unlimited - even thought you cannot download as much as they say you can - why should a different rule apply for cable?
