I agree, I wasn't talking about my actual real-time rates (should have been clearer in my original post) but the maximum rates I can expect at that point in time (they do have this info). I want to know it's 10MB/s and be notified when it drops to 2.5MB/s. Similarly I want to know when it changes back.

Throttled or not is a start, but as above knowing the actual limited rate helps more.

Further this approach means that as a customer I never need worry about the actual Traffic Management policy again. As long as set my usage to a percentage of available rate (with some minimum) Virgin can do what they want to the time periods and throttling amount.
