50meg has no downstream STM so I shifted to that in prep for Youview. If you are ahead of the 'normal usage' curve you may have to do the same.
Thats the point, Virgin need to update there system so the cap dont affect things like your IPTV, I only watched it for 3 hours! Could you imagen if a hole family used netflix your internet would be constantly capped!! Whats the point in me having a 10mb internet connection when i cant use it!

They need smart filtering like other isps that give pritory to important traffic like iptv and voip and less importance to mass download at peek like p2p (i use p2p as much as anybody else but i make sure i download in the morning so i have peak speed)
