More services require more bandwidth, VM and other suppliers now offer bigger packages to allow customers to use more services - it's like being peeved your six year old PC won't play black Ops, and Blaming Activision.
ymmv.

Its nothing like that at all, personally i think that is a really poor analagy. 60 meg package for example between peak hours you are allowed 5gb of bandwidth before you are traffic managed. So your telling me that someone who pays for 60 mbps of download speed should have 5gb of bandwidth to play with in the evening? Sorry mate but come on that is rediculous i dont know of any other ISP providing a fibre connection that has this in place. Ok with Infinity 1 you get a 40gb monthly usage allowance which is another cheap tactic to get people to take up the more expensive infinity 2 option. But none of them to my knowledge have a daily download limit before your connection is halved for 5 hours.
Also are you suggesting that a family lets say 2 parents and 2 teenagers should all take up the most expensive option on virgin to get 10gb of usage per night, so that even if they were under STM they would still have 50mbps to play with? That is pure nonsense at the end of the day you and i and everyone reading this knows that downloading 5gb online between 4-9 pm if you have 3 or 4 people using the internet all at once is done in no time.
As i said i fail to see what you were saying as far as the mini goes, 60mb should be PLENTY for the average family but with rediculous restrictions on how much you can download before you're speed is halved. It is like i said forcing people to take up the most expensive packages that they do not need.
