Virgin isn't always the answer - we have it at home (full fibre optic cable to the house) and it was brilliant 5 years ago with 150mps+ pretty much all the time but now it's very hit and miss despite being checked by a Virgin Engineer. It occasionally gets to over 100mps but is more usually around 50 and the hub struggles with more than 3 users. The 'solution' apparently is to turn the hub off overnight but to my mind that's not a solution it's a a bodge.
On the other hand at work I have BT broadband which arrives by a copper cable from a nearby telephone pylon - 40mps pretty much all the time, admittedly it is only me using it but even so.
It depends a LOT on where you are and how many other people are connected I suspect - which is probably why my home Virgin service has suffered over the years.
