It looks like Virgin are [messing] around with the service here. I've just run another test and got 7Mbps.  |
I believe the maximum upload speed is 374Kb/s on the 4Mb/s connection.
Web-based speed tests are unreliable for higher speed connections.
Recommend you try doing multiple file downloads for a more accurate result:
Start 2 simultaneous downloads from the VM demo games server plus 2 simultaneous downloads of Zen test files. That's four file downloads happening at once!
Now add up each of the four download speeds to get your accurate download rate.
If your UBR was only upgraded last night there's a chance that some engineering work is still being done on the UBR so you may not see a stable connection for another day (or two, given that today is Sunday).
If you can't get close to 10Mb/s, you could post the results of that test to VM's Tech Support newsgroup and request a replacement modem.
