O2 Access is absolutely correct however this is a small subset of O2's customers and you didn't specify that you just said 'O2' which is disingenuous. It's like referring to Virgin Media's off-net operation with the label 'Virgin Media' without any qualification, there are quite different policies on-net and off-net on both.
As I said O2's LLU network hasn't had its shaping turned on.
There have been a few isolated reports of congestion, yes, these have, thus far, been addressed swiftly and capacity upgrades are ongoing - see O2 / Be's planned works list, those are hardware upgrades.
Regarding Plusnet you recall quite incorrectly. BT have never run Plusnet's capacity planning nor did they add capacity to Plusnet's network, this is managed by ex-Plusnet staff. Plusnet had teething troubles with their shaping but once this was complete they had the most advanced application management in the UK.
There was a brief period when Plusnet saw issues with higher priority traffic and this was addressed both through adjustments to their management platform and addition of capacity.
