Slowing down is the idea, not stopping. It's too mainstream now when people who can barely switch a PC on are leeching half the internet from newsgroups and a not insignificant proportion of people are doing >500GB/month. Especially relevant to Virgin given the genius price cut and lack of restrictions or detrimental use on 50M whose main purpose at the moment is to pull warez from Usenet.
