Good point. With a 50mbit connection you would end up being capped within minutes, which renders the whole, no doubt expensive affair completely pointless.

What irks me almost as much as this ridiculous throttling is how Virgin continue to advertise their service as being incredibly fast for those who hate to wait, and free of download limits. It's at best incredibly selective with the truth, or a less generous sort would just say it's a flat out lie. Maybe some sort of advertising standards body could look into it and slap their wrists.
