That's all very well, but large portions of the Virgin network are ill equipped to cope with 20Mbit, let alone 50Mbit. Take PL4, for instance. One of the most densely student-populated post-codes in Plymouth. Tonnes of students grouping together with their flat/house mates to get 50Mbit broadband with TV and Phone. What do they get? They'd be lucky to get 8Mbit. I don't think anyone needs to guess the postcode I live in.
