The idea is the during "Peak time" the top 5% of users (who had down or up loaded 3GB) would have their connection automatically reduced to 5Mb for 4 Hours. This would then return to their normal (I guess 20Mb) connection after this time.

Why am I always the bearer of bad news?
Subscriber traffic management has been implemented across the whole network, there will be defined download limits that when reached will halve the broadband speed for four hours.
The FAQ will be published tomorrow on the virginmedia website.
