Virgin have been capping their cable for a while now, something they introduced very quietly. During peak times (which they define as 4pm till midnight) if you download more than the limit for your connection (350mb on 2mbps, 750mb on 4mbps, 3gb on 10mbps), they restrict your speed to 50% for 4 hours, even if those hours go into the off-peak zone.

They still advertise "With Virgin broadband you get unlimited downloads as a basic right", and don't see any hypocrisy in having smallprint to an "acceptable usage policy" underneath it.
