And you are surprised - why. All companies push it to the limits to see what they can get away with

Re: Virgin make misleading claims regarding its broadband
I must admit although not as noticeable as it was before when I used ADSL, I still experience regular buffering, especially on Xbox Live.

Re: Virgin make misleading claims regarding its broadband
I experienced several times more buffering on VM 50Mb than I did on BT 40Mb.

(And they complain about Sky saying their service is "unlimited" when they impose far more limiting on their own unlimited service)
