Agreed, in theory it's capable of doing just that, in reality it's only allowed for 10 hrs a day, and is heavily reliant on not living in an oversubscribed area to do so.
What with STM, application throttling, and threats to cut you off if you hit an (as yet) undefined limit during peak hours, Virgin Media is in danger of loosing the ground it once held without any effort, to the very companies it keeps slinging mud at.
I guess what I'm saying is, that I would like to drive VM's Ferrari like connection with petrol in the tank, and air in the tyres for more than just 10 hrs a day, and also not be expected to do so when I should be in bed fast asleep
