I'm on 10Mb and find that 6 connections will give me full speed. You should only ever use the minimum connections needed to get the speed you need as too many connections can slow you down as the connection gets overloaded.
Which VM BB service are you on?

I think i remember reading a cf post somewhere that virgin media just simply monitors the volume of traffic going in and out and doesn't need to inpsect what the traffic is. So i don't think there is anyway to by pass their shaping policy..
