Does anyone here know if that is the case and the timescales involved for other isps like virgin etc.

This is being discussed in great detail in the very place you mention, it would appear that "legally" certain information has to be kept.
BUT....
The info required to identify an account holder does not (i.e. info of interest to ACS etc). It would also appear that each ISP has a slightly different privacy policy and has different views on how long it decides to keep logs for
I find it quite confusing, but reckon it does add to the argument that what little evidence they hold against you is seriously flawed
