The DUP's 3rd strike means disconnection. See
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12...on-letter.html as a recent example.
This is enforcement of the following sections of the AUP:
Quote:
3.2.1. Virgin Media does not place a limit on monthly network usage. However, in isolated cases (currently less than 0.1% of customers) where excessive network usage at busy times (9am to 9pm) is having a detrimental effect on other users, we may need to take appropriate action in accordance with the terms of this AUP to notify users of the impact they are having and require them to move some of their activity into the less busy period.
3.3. During an investigation, if we believe that a violation of this AUP or our Terms and Conditions has occurred, we may take immediate remedial action. Such action may include temporary or permanent removal of material from our servers, the cancellation of newsgroup postings, warnings to the User responsible, and the suspension, restriction or termination of the User's account.

I was perfectly accurate, per above the DUP results in disconnection and STM makes it impossible to achieve the advertised 'up to' data rate while it is in effect.
If you wish to be argumentative for the sake of it there are plenty of other forums that will cater for just that desire.
