"Streaming TV shows and movies is the eighth most popular use for broadband in 2014; an activity which uses a relatively minimal download speed of 7Mbps for Super HD quality viewing(5). Similarly, browsing the internet, checking emails and social networking remain the most popular online activities in three quarters of households (77 per cent), requiring a base speed of just 5Mbps. Despite this, UK households are paying for an average speed of 32Mbps, which is over six times higher than they need."
There's some truth in what you say. But it's still a USP in the same way that Sky Atlantic is a USP whose shows don't appeal to everyone. Very fast broadband does not appeal nor is needed by everyone. But it's still unique to Virgin.
