Pretty well all the literature I have read talks about using VPN to get around throttling. Stuff like this

http://how-to-bittorent-safely-anony...p-torrent.html

However some actively discuss Virgin throttling certain VPN providers.

That is my contribution. Asking me anything technical about VPN is like asking Stevie Wonder to comment on the works of Titian.
