The problem lies with people having unreasonable expectations of what their money should get them.
They would be the expectations that were given as the reason as to why you should sign up with Virgin.

If I go to an all you an eat buffet then sure, I COULD eat everything, if I did I'd get a bargain, but I'm not going to. The restaurant knows this, so they offer a contended service that costs a lot less than if they were cooking it all just for me.
You are wrong. and it's a pretty bad analogy.
You think it works for you because you said I'm not going to try changing it to I am going to try to and see how your argument turns out.
