If by "loads" you mean "less than a quarter"...

According to Virgin Media's own results, 74% of customers were already on 30Mb or higher as of the end of last year.

Less than 25% may be a significant number but the point still stands, it most certainly is not "the majority". Not even remotely close.

A small minority perhaps, but that completely defeats your point. Holding back upgrades for 3/4 of customers so that a "small minorty" that were left behind last time that can't be done automatically don't get left behind again? Nah.
