I don't think they're stress testing anything, I am 90% sure they're increasing the overhead so the ASA doesn't bitch slap them. For virgin to advertise 300Mbit, 10% of customers need to actually get that speed - so they over-provision to make sure it happens.

It's why upload speeds are barely overprovisioned at all, because they're not headline speeds.
