It's better than having some arbitrary limit, above which they pull your service, and at least they are being up front and saying what the state of play is.

Having said that, the limit for the 'M' service isn't particularly high. You would go over that just by listening to Pandora for that time.

Agreed, playing EVE and listening to DI.FM I regularly punted that much data around. After a session it was quite shocking just how much bandwidth I'd eaten chilling out and blowing the crap outta stuff.
I do find it annoying that Virgin are still advertising (on some of the bus shelters around here) that their 'super high speed service' is "unlimited usage".

To be honest the first time I smack in to this limiter they're going to get Miss Angry on the phone wanting to know where her downloading and music has ground to a halt. (I'm currently downloading the Fiesty Fawn DVD... I think I'll download it twice now. Bite me Virgin... bite me long, bite me hard.)

Oh well, I signed to an unlimited download instead of sky, I think i'm going to ge puttin gup with sky after all.
