Generally the difference in speed tests is that particular server not having enough bandwidth to max out your connection or you are too far away from it to get a good enough connection.

No speed tests on this planet Earth can be 100% accurate . There are several factors that can affect speed tests ... What i would suggest you to do is by downloading a file from the VIrginMedia UK server (click on this link to start the download : http://rnet.notlong.com) and then check the "Transfer Rate" on the download Window . Run multiple downloads of the same file and get the average speed.

IF you had read correctly, the OP has stated he has already used BBMax...

Maybe there is still time to get enrolled into summer school for a bit of English, spelling and grammar lessons before the holidays end... :P
