New customer standalone prices are £21 £28.50 £35 and £45. Maybe you have the phone as well? If not you need to call in and get it corrected.

Regardless of VM advertising the service as unlimited it certainly isn't - bandwidth is a limited resource. Somebody regularly downloading high volumes will probably have an adverse effect on others in their area. The local pipe capacity is 200Mbps down 18Mbps up and that will be shared by 100 or more customers. One user on 100Mbps flat out up and down will soak half the local downstream and more than half of upstream.
