Re: Virgin Media to possibly peer with LINX (London Internet Exchange)
I have seen weird routing myself with other isps.

eg. on ukonline (easynet) I was going to leaseweb via cogent, congestion galore on the route. It turned out easynet peer with AMS-IX directly (leaseweb also do), leaseweb noticed easynet had preferenced cogent so turned of cogent on the route for me and I now go over a congestion free direct peering link. Easynet didnt respond so I was lucky leaseweb were cooperative.

I expect traffic for leaseweb to ams-ix is free and cogent is not, hence them also keen to switch the routing.

Has there been any official word from VM to say that the link will go ahead?

Apparently its up to Virgin now but since the e-mails they have done nothing and VM - OVH traffic still uses DTAG (German provider) which is costing them a significant amount of money.
