Why, have they contacted you regarding your usage? how much do you use per month?
are you on Virgin Media cable or Virgin Media ADSL
Last month i used 105GB (More then i've ever used in 1 month) they didn't say anything.

To be fair, you can, quote "download as much as you want"; they slow the speed of the download down, but the amount you can download is still unlimited. ;)

Approx 3gb a day - some of the posts on other threads use examples of speed halving after 2gb, running on half-speed for two hours, then going back to full speed (repeat as necessary).
I would surmise those people are downloading more than 3gb a day ;)

Well there was a news story that ntl & Telewest were only shaping in some areas so that could still be the case, OR it could be what you're saying, maybe i'm not downloading and uploading enough? lol
i thought i used a lot last month, for all the other months i have downloaded and uploaded between 15-25GB, only last month i did a lot more

I reckon the traffic shaping is only implemented in areas where there is heavy network congestion and problems.
I may be wrong but I download a lot more than some folk do and there is no traffic shaping in my area for anyone as far as I know.
No traffic shaping here....yet.... ;)
Not too long ago, my UBR was suffering from overload which caused such a downgraded service for s some, all is fixed now though.
