No point doubling our headline speed if the TV stays off 12 hours a day and the broadband is up and down like nobody's business.

I doubt the 300mbit is going to apply to existing modems, so my relatively educated guess is the trial is a new Superhub, one that probably is capable of 16 Downstream channels with 12 being active for the initial rollout. There may be other features on the hub such as VOIP, but I have no doubt in my mind that the trial is for a new hub and the hub is required for 300Mbit.
I think 200Mbit will be the highest the SH1/SH2 will go on Virgin's network, at least officially.
