There's a difference between renting dark fibre, renting WDM wavelengths, renting ethernet links, renting point-to-point IP links, and renting internet connectivity (IP transit), all of which VM do.

I do know that the Sky connections (the few that there are) aren't over the Virgin media backhaul. I do understand that they are just links over fibre to a point where they go onto Sky's network. I just wondered at what point the filtering takes place. So I take it from your answer that the filtering on Sky and Virgins networks is at some point along the core network not the smaller localised links (might not be saying this very well?).

Why did you sign up for the VPN anyway? Not for the purpose of avoiding this I hope? Hope you only paid a month if it was and not the year up-front.
