Anyone been following this? Virgin Media is one of the major uncapped (cable) providers in the UK.
While I fully agree that ISP's should state the real speed that a user will be able to receive. Its easy to see through the "press release" which is quite clearly a marketing stint from Virgin: Since uncapped at a fast line speed is expensive they are hitting back at the capped providers who more than happily give full line speed (since the caps regulate the usage).
They've received mixed responses, some claiming that Virgin themselves are dishonest because:
1. They offer unlimited, however throttle the speeds (esp of heavy users).
2. They themselves also offer misleading speed advertisements.
