This isn't a Virgin specific thing, it applies to cable companies throughout the world.

Again, there's the problem. Never mind the rest of the world (with potentially different consumer laws), what VM mustn't do is to take extra business in an area that is allowed to stay congested (except on the parts that are not congested).
That's almost the nub of this thread when you get down to it.
