So you pay for a service, 2, 4, 10, 20 and now 50MB but if you actually
want to down load anything substantial at that speed you need to do it
over night!
They have limits on each package and they are very small limits and
should you exceed them your Package gets throttled.
'An example of how this works is that if a broadband size M customer
downloaded 500MB of data between 4pm and 9pm, their speed would be
temporarily managed with their download speed set to 1Mb and their
upload speed to 128Kb for a 5 hours.'
So who needs 10, 20, and 50mb for anything other than
uploading/Downloading large volumes of data?
A 50mb visiting websites is hardly going to be any different from a 2mb
package
In other words they want to sell packages they cannot at this time fully
support, presumably the packages will get bigger and cost more but if
you attempt to use them as they advertise for more than a few hours
during the day light hours then they'll punish you but keep charging you
full package fees, you'll be made to feel like your a criminal, that
you've done something wrong while simply tryng to get the deal they
promised you when you signed up.

It's a con and all there expensive adverts can't disguise this fact
Virgin are spinning bullshit regarding their services they simply cannot
deliver what they are promising, the network is just not up to it.
