If you are not already doing so, the Virgin Connect app will run tests both from the hub and your device. The former will give a pretty accurate picture at a service level, the latter how well your wifi is doing. The app can record figures for different rooms in the house and can be used to identify wifi shortcomings.
Other tools can also run tests from your hub/router.

If you are using a 1Gb port on either the hub or the computer doing the speedtest - than 940Mb is about as fast as you'll get.

But use the 2.5Gb port on the hub and a computer which 2.5GB or higher network card - then you should get around 1.15Gb download with the 1GB service.

Thank You All. Appreciated. I not got a clue if my Hub 4 is a 2.5Gb (2.5Gb port on the hub and a computer which 2.5GB or higher network card) Don't have a network card in my new pc..I'll be happy at 946.90 anyway. My Ethernet cable is CAT 7 into a tp-link 8 port Gigabit switch. not sure if that is 1gig or 2.5. All 8 ports used.

The Hub 4 only has 1 gigabit ethernet ports, so allowing for the overheads, the absolute fastest internet you will ever, ever get is around 940-950 Mb/s.

Almost certainly your 8-port switch is also equipped with 1 Gbit ports.

Your reported speed is correct, you ore on VM’s 1 Gig tier which is 1 Gb/s down and roughly 1/10 of that up. In general VM slightly over provision the speed, which explains why the upload speed is slightly more than you might think.
