Virgin B'Band Limits

...... just got a letter from Virgin Broadband asking me to limit downloads
to 1Gig daily. It didn't say "you must" it said "could you if you d'load a
lot". But did add an "or else" though.
I'm wondering if i triggered an automatic letter by reaching a certain
amount ( WinMX on day and night acquiring all three series of "The Fall and
Rise of Reginald Perrin" ) or if they sent out a letter to all users.
Did anyone else get one of these? Seems like it's time to move again. 1Gig's
not enough if you stream radio or video, or download video's and music.
Seems to defeat the whole idea of broadband. Always on, radio, music, video
were all much in evidence if you look at the advertising.
