In your case, the service is absolutely fine for your usage habits. We were answering the question of how someone could go over 300+ GB. That's how they could go over it m8.
I personally like Virgin Media's internet service. I just don't like the traffic shaping when they advertise it as unlimited. Sure they say they allow you to download as much as you like. But they also send warning letters out to people who try to do exactly that. So in my opinion, that's not clear and transparent advertising of a product.
I would love to move to another provider who doesn't traffic shape and doesn't send warning letters out when their product is advertised as unlimited. But unfortunately the location of my house allows me only 3Meg broadband over BT's aging copper wire telephone network, so I'm stuck with Virgin until the Government eventually force BT to allow competitor’s access to their Fibre to the Cabinet network.
With that said I wouldn't even go to BT Infinity (FTTC) if it was available at my local exchange as they have an unofficial 300GB usage limit on their "Unlimited" infinity product. Which they don't advise in the terms and conditions at all, but openly admit over the telephone if pushed. After which, they throttle and traffic shape the connection.
I think its pointless offering higher and higher internet connection speeds when eventually they are all traffic managed. "It's like giving an excited kid a cake, but telling them they aren't allowed to eat it all."
