I don't think VoIP and D3.1 are related in any way and didn't mean to imply that. However, even if Virgin isn't ready to start rolling out 3.1 at a network level, there's nothing wrong with them shipping modems with the capability ready to go. It would make future speed boosts much easier as it won't necessarily rely on furnishing customers with newer devices. The current round of speed boosts are very much pushing the limits of what the Superhubs can do and I'd be surprised if they allow anyone on 300mbit with an existing device.
Even without speed boosts, even for customers on lower tiers, it's probably better for Virgin to use 3.1 for the capacity benefits. Just have to see how it pans out, I agree that I doubt Virgin has plans to roll it out any time soon.
