Assuming that's 100k customers, out of what - 6 million or something? That represents something like 1.5% of the userbase. 2% tops.

Yup, exactly this. And I'm not sure I'd want to pay that much for my own modem, even if Virgin allowed it, given that I can't take it to another provider.
It would be nice if Virgin offered it as a paid extra or something, though, but it's so niche.
