If someone can remember the Virgin Media customer split between M / L and XL you can also guesstimate it on VM. I reckon in a fully L upgraded area the average speed as sold would be 6.2Mbit down and 384k up. Assuming that you'd be looking at 44.86:1 downstream on VM and 4.36:1 upstream, we assume 275 subscribers on a 38Mbit downstream and 100 subscribers on an 8.8Mbit upstream who are split roughly 60 / 30 / 10 between M / L / XL.

EDIT: I should mention that the upstream bit isn't always going to be the case, I know that in a lot of instances Virgin are only running 4.4Mbit upstreams, and I have serious doubts that Virgin's network has so few customers per downstream.
