I really can't see the logic in what they're doing. I don't want or need all the extras V.VIP comes with apart from the 500Mb. Instead of getting some extra money from me, they're getting none.
I suspect the upload speed uplift is a separate thing and part of a larger plan going back years to get 10:1 speeds. What do I know, though.

One thing I am pretty sure about though - 500Mbit is hefty on the network without 3.1 to keep it going. I suspect Virgin are deliberately keeping it in the premium packages to limit uptake for that reason as well.

It'll eventually come to lower tiers, I have no doubt.
