Are they able to throttle down your bandwidth if they detect you downloading things you shouldnt be or over loading the system. Downloaded two or three movies since sunday on the 10mb BB and now can only get 2.5mb.

Perfectly clear here mate;

http://shop.virginmedia.com/help/traffic-management/traffic-management-faster-uploads.html

If you're on the faster upload (Derby should be) then if you've downloaded more than 7GB during 10AM-3PM or 3.5GB between 4PM-9PM they'll throttle you to 2.5MB for 5 hours.

Schedule your downloading before 10AM and after 9PM.

EDIT: If you still can't get more than 2.5MB then they might be throttling the application (i.e. BitTorrent or Usenet, try using SSL).
