This stops people who are genuinely trying to download content and not abusing the connection being punished. There are no hard limits on Sky so i dont see why there should be with Virgin. Its simple, just punish the people who are REALLY abusing the connection or dont oversubscribe without having the necessary equipment and bandwidth.

Your kidding are you not ? You could not even download one without the STM kicking in. So effectively it is false advertising on Virgin Media's part. Perhaps they are just doing this to protect there TV revenue with all the different media services now online. Virgin media really don't want you to use your connection for what it is advertised for. 1.2GB limit from 4 to 9pm on my 10MB is ridiculousness. That is the exact time you want to be watching a film not 1 to 2 3 am in the morning. If they don't want me to use my connection for streaming media then they can give me there TV service for FREE. Yet I want to watch HD content but Virgin Media's offering is very very poor.
