    As espresso said, from V-Day, it's unlimited usage subject to the AUP.

    Oh, and as long as you are on Cable too....

    Blueyonder was unlimited without a restrictive Fair Use Policy before, now Virgin have gone and implemented this FUP crap. I am not a happy bunny.

    Edit: Although, reading it, the FUP from Virgin Media isn't all that restrictive compared to other ISPs - it mostly just covers illegal usage (that's usually in the T&Cs though, 'Fair Usage Policy' makes me think of connection throttling for heavy users).
