Have a look at this:

Virgin isn't going to do anything new to detect illegal downloaders. It will continue to rely on the rights holders sending it lists of IP addresses that have been observed in torrent swarms. However, instead of simply sending out warning letters, as it has previously, it will now deploy an escalating range of sanctions against people whose IP repeatedly appears on the lists it receives. The maximum sanction will be temporary suspension of service.

This is all very unsatisfactory seeing as it is now well established that a claim of 'we got your IP' really doesn't prove anything.
