My interpretation is that Virgin Media was being less than truthful in claiming that 100mbps was needed, failed to get enough customers, so have now reduced the requirement to their lowest speed (50mbps). I also think that it's only a matter of time that VM drops the requirement to buy broadband from them as a requirement to get a V6 box, especially if people will be able to get Sky content without a dish via any ISP's broadband.
