Anyway, the page is still in Google's cache if you mess with the URL.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.co..._EC-30-Upgrade
Indeed, you can still go to:
http://shop.virginmedia.com/existing..._UPGRADE_SOLUS
which still works and takes you to the basket link with the 30mb product in your basket.

So the ordering system still has it in there, just the "intro" page has been pulled. Mind you, I wonder who discovered that link and how - I don't see it linked to from any part of VM's shop, and it's really not that unusual or that much of a cock-up to ensure your systems are ready by setting them up ahead of date and keeping the URL private. If people discover the URL via non-legitimate means or you have no access control, well, this happens.

All it shows it that they have everything prepared, set up, ready, and working ahead of time. Doesn't seem like a bad thing to me - the only cockup is how the link got leaked.
