I don't mind the 2.5mbit up but dropping from 100 down to 25 downstream is a bit steep so hopefully they'll do something about that. I think Ignitionet has mentioned something about a more progressive throttling system the more you hammer your connection rather than an outright smack down.
Well currently on 50mbps Virgin Media only STMs the upstream - downstream stays at 50Mbps regardless of how much is downloaded.

I'd prefer progressive throttling rather than the current system if I was on a tier which was affected.
