So now I download a few hundred meg in an evening and the connection goes to 1 meg (from 4) and stays like that for hours.

Yeah they call it 'traffic shaping'
between midnight-4pm it is unlimited, 4-12 if you go over a certain limit they half your connection speed. I hit the limit at my parents in under 15 mins, then the connection was unusable!
Sky 16mb BB unlimited and £10 a month FTW!
O and if your Vrigin connection is really slow then your UBR will probably be overloaded, which they do. With the new 50mb service they are using a different system but i see Virgin getting worse and worse.
