Though it is highly unlikely virgin media would actually let you download the whole movie at full speed since they implement bandwidth throttling if you go over a limit which is less than that of a decent quality hd movie.

Exact opposite situation in America. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/17/time-warner-download-too-much-and-you-might-pay-30-a-movie/
First article I found. But it won't surprise me one bit if all cable companies in the US change to pay per amount downloaded in the future.
